What is AALPS
3D COSCOM

• An portable automated airload planning system
  that incorperates TB55-46-1 into its software
  enabling the user to plan airload missions,
  obtain aircraft estimates, research vehicle
  configurations for specific aircraft, and create
  automatic airloads. System also allows the user
  to prioritize equipment for aircraft loading and
  identify HazMat issues prior to loading aircraft.

PROCEDURES FOR MAKING A TRANSPORTATION CONTROL
NUMBER (TCN) FROM A UNIT LINE NUMBER (ULN)
A TCN is a 17 character data element assigned to
control and manage every shipment unit
throughout the transportation pipeline. the TCN
for each shipment is unique and not
duplicated 5 steps of constructing a TCN from a
ULN utilizing an EXAMPLE 5 digit ULN CEAA1. 1.
Position 1 is a service code, (A for Army.)
EXAMPLE A. (service codes taken DOD 4500.32-R,
Appendix G) 2. Positions 2-8 (7 total
positions) are reserved for the ULN (for the 5
digit ULN CEAA1, add 2 zeros to fill out the
remaining positions.) EXAMPLE CEAA1 00 3.
Positions 9-14 (6 total digits) are reserved for
the cargo items increment number off the CALM
(AALPS) load plan. EXAMPLE BM0001 4.
Position 15 is reserved for a zero EXAMPLE 0
47
PROCEDURES FOR MAKING A TRANSPORTATION CONTROL
NUMBER (TCN) FROM A UNIT LINE NUMBER (ULN)
(continued)
5. Positions 16 17 are reserved for a split /
partial shipment indicator, normally XX.
If more that one piece of cargo will be moving
under this TCN, you can give each piece its own
identity by replacing the last X with alpha
characters A through B. EXAMPLE XA, XB,
XC, ectup to XZ
