2Purpose
- To Provide an Overview of USTRANSCOMs Joint
Exercise Program and to Highlight - Functional Exercises Sponsored by USTRANSCOM that
Support Geographic CCDR Plans Operations - Real-world Supporting CCDR Constraints that
Effect Level of Support to Joint Exercises/How to
Optimize Given those Constraints
3Agenda

- Conclusion / Take Aways
4Mission Commanders Vision
Develop and direct the Joint Deployment and
Distribution Enterprise to globally project
strategic national security capabilities
accurately sense the operating environment
provide end to end distribution process
visibility and responsive support of joint, USG
and SecDef-approved multinational and
non-governmental logistical requirements.
SDDC
USTRANSCOM is responsible for creating and
implementing world-class global deployment and
distribution solutions in support of the
President, Secretary of Defense, and Combatant
Commander assigned missions.

9Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS)
- Background
- JLOTS provides the capability to load/discharge
ships where seaports are denied, damaged,
inadequate, or non-existent. JLOTS watercraft
provide operational maneuver for forces and
sustainment in theaters - USTRANSCOM maintains oversight responsibility for
all DOD JLOTS-related programs including RD,
acquisition, training, doctrine provides
technical planning assistance, programs/manages
JCS exercise funding, leads planning conferences,
evaluation and AAR efforts - Used in OIF forerunner for Seabasing
- Way Ahead
- Maintain legacy systems while promoting
transformation initiatives - Support robust JLOTS exercises sponsored and
planned by Geographic Combatant Commanders ,
including humanitarian, disaster relief and
Interagency scenarios

11Joint Container Exercise Program
- Background
- Established to improve DoDs readiness to deploy,
sustain, redeploy forces using DOD commercial
intermodal transportation systems - Two exercise series
- TURBO INTERMODAL SURGE (TIS) to exercise unit
deployments using commercial intermodal container
system on containerships. Unfunded since 2003 - TURBO Containerized Ammunition Distribution
System (CADS) to exercise CADS from origin to
theater destinations. Linked to Service
ammunition/transportation exercises. - Way Ahead
- Revitalize to train as we fight
12Ultimate Caduceus
- Patient movement (PM) and aeromedical evacuation
exercise - Combined CPX and FTX
- Evaluates PM process from the point of injury,
through the levels of care, to CONUS facilities - Includes patient staging, movement, visibility,
reception, and onward distribution to National
Disaster Medical System (NDMS) civilian hospitals - Conducted every other year (biennially)
- Postponed in FY07
- UC 08 linked with NLE 2-08
- UC 09 tentatively linked with NLE 09

14Key Planning Considerations
- CJCS Priority System guides commitment
- Strategic organic airlift availability is limited
- Current allocations support high priority efforts
- Surface transportation is available, reliable,
and cost efficient - Planning Preparation
- Deployment Training Preparation is key
- COCOM identify requirements in JTIMS
- Use of Newsgroups is essential for TPFDD
- COCOM must discipline the process
15DOD Transportation Priority SystemCJCSI 4120.02

20Take Aways
- USTRANSCOMs Best Training Opportunities come
when Supporting Linked CCDR Exercises - USTRANSCOM-Sponsored Functional Exercises (JLOTS,
AE, Container) are Geographic Combatant Commander
Training Requirements - Not evident in standard OIF/OEF support
- The next war may likely require these
capabilities/skills - Should not be Prioritized against USTRANSCOM
CPXs - Earlier Scheduling Increases Lift Opportunities
and Lowers Cost - Central De-confliction Maximizes Support
