1	Transportation Planning
2	Lesson Objectives Describe the Defense Transportation System Describe the process of estimating gross transportation feasibility Describe techniques used to resolve shortfalls
3	JOPES Functions and Joint Planning
4	Plan Development
5	RIGHT PEOPLE and EQUIPMENT RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME
6	The Strategic Transportation Challenge
7	The Movement of Forces
8	Transportation Assessment Supported Command Level Merged component TPFDDS Assess impact on mission accomplishment Competing requirements for limited resources Mobility support facilities Intra-theater transportation assets Establish priorities
9	Strategic Mobility Triad Air mobility--airlift, aerial refueling Sealift Pre-positioning--land and sea
10	USTRANSCOM
11	Air Mobility Command
12	Military Sealift Command Advise on sealift transportation aspects of worldwide mobility planning Assist in refinement and operation of Joint Operation Planning and Execution System Support deployment and sustainment of U.S. forces with strategic sealift
13	Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Manage traffic responsiveness to support nation’s Armed Forces. Conduct transportation engineering studies and analysis. Operate common-user ocean terminals.
14	Strategic Mobility Options Very fast Very flexible Limited capacity Most expensive Airfield-dependent Special unloading equipment (CRAF/KC-10) Slow to very slow Some flexibility Huge capacity (1 LMSR = 420 C-17s) Least expensive Seaport-dependent Special offloading equipment (civilian ships)
15	Pre-positioning Options Expensive Must marry up w/troops Lacks flexibility Host-nation permission Reduces lift requirements Vulnerable to attack Second most expensive Must marry up w/troops Some flexibility Partially seaport-dependent Reduces lift requirements Vulnerable to weather and attack Ships reusable for sealift
16	Pre-positioning Options Expensive Must marry up w/troops Lacks flexibility Host-nation permission Reduces lift requirements Vulnerable to attack Second most expensive Must marry up w/troops Some flexibility Partially seaport-dependent Reduces lift requirements Vulnerable to weather and attack Ships reusable for sealift
17	Tell Me When . . . ... I have to begin moving an ABN BDE from Ft. Bragg in order to close it NLT C+22. The JSCP apportions me four C-17s and two C-5s. What do I have to know to work this problem?
18	Current JOPES IT (TPFDD Development)
19	Joint Flow and Analysis System for Transportation (JFAST)
20	Joint Flow and Analysis System for Transportation (JFAST) Determines transportation feasibility of a plan Simulates movement of all TPFDD requirements assigned to common-user lift Considers: characteristics of movement requirements characteristics of transportation assets characteristics of airports and seaports to be used Produces graphs and reports which indicate shortfalls Simulates all common-user movement from origin to POD
21	Shortfall Identification Continuous process throughout planning Shortfalls submitted as a separate TPFDD Supported commander notifies CJCS of inadequate resources or serious limiting factors CJCS & Services consider shortfalls, but planning continues Supported commander convenes plan development conference
22	Shortfall Resolution Refining priorities Adjusting POEs, PODs, routing, and timing Changing lift modes and or source Adjusting pre-positioned forces or resources Enhancing preparedness with base development Seeking additional assets
23	Shortfall Resolution (cont) Redefining concept of operations Concluding contractual agreements or inter-Service support agreements Arranging for HNS where feasible Employing combination of above Arranging for Interagency where feasible
24	Transportation Feasibility Analysis Supported Commander: Analyzes deployment, JRSOI, theater distribution of forces, equipment, and supplies to destination TRANSCOM: Assesses the strategic leg of the TPFDD for transportation feasibility Supported Commander: Declares plan end-to-end executable
25	Plan Development Conference Convened by supported commander Reviews initial closure profiles Makes feasibility assessments Probable staff attendees Supported command Components Supporting commands Services Joint Staff USTRANSCOM and components DOD agencies
