Theater Logistics Challenges

• Recognition that sustainment and deployment are
  simultaneous operations . . . Must be
  synchronized
• Asset Visibility is key to supply chain
  optimization
• Theater Distribution
• Hand off between strategic and tactical
  distribution efforts/responsibilities
• Timely asset visibility at all levels
• Ability to respond to changing battlefield
  conditions
• CoCOM ability to prioritize cargo to meet
  missions requirements
• Weve recognized the challenge of theater
  logistics . . .

Joint Theater Logistics Management (JTLM)

• Issue. FLOW 2003 tasked Joint Staff to form a
  Flag level JTLM Process Action Team (PAT)
• Desired Endstate. JTLM provides the Combatant
  Commander the required capabilities to execute
  directive authority for logistics to accomplish
  operational objectives. These capabilities
  provide the processes, rules and tools to
  effectively see emerging requirements and rapidly
  resolve them.
• JTLM Process Action Team (PAT) Mandate.
• Identify critical warfighter desired theater
  logistics functional capabilities
• Identify existing CoCOM, Service, and agency
  capabilities
• Identify critical process definitions, technology
  and interoperable business rule requirements
• Prepare action plan to achieve the required
  capabilities
• JTLM PAT Membership.
• VDJ4 (Chair) CoCOM reps USN
• USJFCOM DLA USMC
• USTRANSCOM USA USAF

Overarching JTLM Capabilities

• See/Sense Capability to plan, monitor, and
  assess in real-time, allowing control of
  deployment/redeployment, distribution,
  employment, regeneration and sustainment across
  the entire theater area of operation
• Respond Capability to prioritize, direct,
  synchronize, integrate, and coordinate
  common-user and cross-Service logistics materiel
  and functions under the CoCOMs control.
• Collaborate Capability to fully collaborate
  with other CoCOMs, Service components, JTFs,
  Interagency organizations and coalition partners,
  to achieve the ability to see, sense, and
  respond.

JTLM Capabilities / JTLM Initiatives Analysis
Initiatives are evolving that must consider JTLM
8
Initial JTLM Capability Gap Analysis

• Potential shortfalls requiring action

• Tier 2
• Engineering Planning / Joint Infrastructure
  Engineer Asset Management
• Theater Logistics Collaboration
• CoCOMs / JTFs / Service Components
• Interagency Organizations
• Multi-nationals
• Joint Theater Contracting and Contracts Management

• Tier 1
• JTLM Operational Architecture
• Interoperable Logistics Technologies
• Synchronize Inter Intra-Theater Deployment and
  Distribution
• Joint Priorities Management (sustainment
  materiel)
• Joint Force Projection and Reception

Tier Ranking A subjective means to prioritize
the gaps in order to focus effort and resources
9
Distribution Process Owner (DPO)

• SECDEF designated USTRANSCOM as the Distribution
  Process Owner responsible to
• Improve overall efficiency interoperability
  of distribution-related activities
• Serve as the single entity to direct
  supervise execution of a global distribution
  system

10
DPO Top Priorities

• E2E Distribution Process Architecture
• Defense Transportation Coordination Initiative
  
• Containers
• Direct Vendor Delivery Processes
• Radio-Frequency Identification
• Metrics
• Supply Transportation Priority System
• Time Definite Delivery
• Deployment Distribution Ops Center
• Distribution and Deployment Process
• Billing, Funding, Budget Processes

Unity of Effort
Joint Effects

• Provide TAV and ITV of force flow,
  sustainment, and retrograde
• Refine theater distribution architecture in
  coordination with the Services, Joint Staff, and
  CJTFs
• Synchronize strategic and operational
  distribution
• Develop strategic and operational distribution
  performance measures
• Execute container, 463L pallet system, and
  RFID tag management

The missing Theater link until now
13
CDDOCs Impacts on Theater Distribution

• Collaboration brought everyone together to
  share information and explore solutions to
  theater logistics problems
• Enhanced ITV/TAV Iridium tracking, satellite
  tracking and JDLM better ways to view moving
  cargo
• Introduced forecasting-products enabled CFLCC
  and CJTF-7 to synchronize support needed for the
  war fighter
• Internet/Portal Technology one place for all
  war fighters to share and collect distribution
  information
• Process Improvements such as TFX which
  expedites cargo through the nodes of
  distribution
• Visibility Synchronization of Cargo and PAX
  Fort Factory to Foxhole Support
