3. UNCLASSIFIED Joint Theater Logistics Management giving the joint force commander the ability to synchronize, prioritize, direct, integrate, and coordinate cross-service logistics functions. UNCLASSIFIED 3

4. 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 • We’ve recognized the challenge of theater logistics . . .

5. 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

6. 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 CoCOM’s 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.

7. JTLM Capabilities / JTLM Initiatives Analysis Initiatives are evolving that must consider JTLM

8. Initial JTLM Capability Gap Analysis • Potential shortfalls requiring action: • 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 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” Ranking = A subjective means to prioritize the gaps in order to focus effort and resources

9. DPO Focus USTRANSCOM Services Theater Commander DLA Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Acquisition Storage Inter-Theater Movement Intra-Theater Movement Tactical Movement and Distribution POD DDC POE SSA TDC Factory Foxhole DPO Span of Influence 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

12. Service Reps CENTCOM Deployment and Distribution Operations Center (CDDOC) DPO National Partners 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. CDDOC’s 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
