United States Transportation Command

Transformation Vision and Strategy

USTRANSCOM is the Combatant Command (COCOM) responsible for creating and implementing world-class global deployment and distribution solutions in support of the National Security Strategy. To accomplish this, USTRANSCOM’s transformational vision is to change its orientation from a Command that provides strategic transportation, to a Command that develops and employs end-to-end (E2E) global transportation of forces and materiel distribution solutions to improve joint distribution capabilities for regional COCOMs and functional component warfighters.

 

The focus of USTRANSCOM transformation IT efforts is on developing a seamless process that will provide better visibility of supplies from their point of production to their ultimate destination of the warfighters in the field. USTRANSCOM is continuing to work with its national partners (Office of the Secretary of Defense organizations, Joint Staff, COCOMs, Services, Agencies, and other affected organizations) on priorities that support its transformation goals.

Transformation Priorities

  • End-to-End Visibility (USTC1)
  • Information Technology (IT) Optimization of Capabilities (USTC2)
  • Financial Accountability (USTC3)
  • Execution Effectiveness (USTC4)

Accomplishment Highlights Scroll for More

USTC1: End-to-End Visibility

  • AT21 achieved Milestone B in May 2007 and the Acquisition Decision Memorandum was signed in August 2007.

 

USTC2: Information Technology Optimization of Capabilities

  • GTN/P3I fielded a Motor Carrier Compliance (MCC) capability in June 2007. MCC allows GTN users to determine which commercial truck carriers are complying with requirements to submit electronic status of movement and government bills of lading. This critical capability improvement enables the government to take corrective action with non-compliant carriers leading to improved surface distribution and elimination of serious gaps in E2E distribution.
  • USTRANSCOM awarded the CPA contract in April 2007. Initial contract activities proceeded on schedule and a requirements review conference was held in July 2007.

 

USTC3: Financial Accountability

  • DEAMS Increment 1/Spiral 1 (USTRANSCOM led) was built, tested, and deployed in July 2007. This spiral is a production demonstrator that replaced Automated Business Services System for commitment accounting for select users at Scott AFB.

 

USTC4: Execution Effectiveness

  • DTCI contract was awarded in mid-August. However, a protest has been filed with GAO and consequently work with contract recipient was suspended at the end of August, pending resolution of the protest. Ultimately, DTCI partnership with a 3PL logistics provider will provide experts at consolidating loads and choosing the best modes and routes for transportation. Having these types of experts run routine DoD CONUS freight movements at the enterprise level will greatly improve operational effectiveness and customer confidence.
  • Initial JTF-PO APOD unit participated in two CONUS exercises with NORTHCOM to support humanitarian assist/disaster relief scenarios. Ready to support any disaster relief operation during the 2007 CONUS hurricane season or overseas contingency support for the GCCs.
  • The Fusion Center effort completed cataloging "as is" operations and control center activities for USTRANSCOM and its subordinate commands. It modeled 132 multi-modal processes linked to 170 IT systems and yielded eight "to be" process maps for implementation in FY07. The Fusion Center will provide command and control of a unified JDDE, using integrated capabilities for E2E global deployment and distribution operations.
  • PMA secured DoD reprogramming actions, outlined critical roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, and conducted sessions to ensure Active Duty, Guard/Reserve, civilian (including host foreign nationals), and surface terminal experts had the opportunity to address issues. This resulted in a compressed development timeline leading to a cost avoidance of $7.5M and fielded capability a year earlier than projected.
  • GATES completed IOC software development with turnover to government in June.
  • CMOS was deployed to Al Taqaddum and Al Asad Iraq for use by Marines. Improved capabilities include hand-held scanners, improved inbound cargo screens, and a WPS interface to water port cargo resulting in increased speed of cargo delivery.
  • JDPAC completed the OSD sponsored Joint Shipment Manager (JSM), OAHU Study. The results of the study highlighted the value of centralizing many of the transportation management process functions thereby integrating joint movement data and increasing equipment / load utilization.
