WILL YOUR UNIT BE READY COMMANDER?



He who occupies the field of battle first and awaits his enemy is at ease: he who comes late is weary.

Sun Tzu (The Art of War)



Terminal Learning Objective• ACTION: Describe the strategic overview of

deployments, the automated deployment tools, and the phases of deployments.

• CONDITION: Give a guided classroom discussion and appropriate publications.

• STANDARD: Described the strategic overview, the automated deployment tools, and the 5 phases of deployments.

• Strategic overview

• Automated deployment tools

• 5 phases of deployments

Strategic Overview



Strategic Overview

• Geographical Commands:– European

– Central

– Pacific

– Southern

– Northern

• Functional Commands:– Transportation CMD

– Special OPS CMD

– Strategic CMD

– Joint Forces CMD

Unified Command Plan as of 1 October 2002



Geographical Command AORsStrategic Overview



Automated Deployment Tools

• JOPES

• TC-ACCIS

• TC-AIMS

• COMPASS

• AALPS

• GTN

• AITSo what does this mean to me?



Automated Deployment Tools• Find out who has the TC-ACCIS or TC-AIMS II.

(ITO, CTO, DTO).• Get a copy of your AUEL.• Review it carefully.

– Must list everything you own---including containers/463L pallets you will need to deploy.

• GET THIS DOCUMENT RIGHT!• AUEL= Automated Unit Equipment List.• DEL= Deployment equipment List



AUEL/DEL

• AUEL = All equipment on hand that requires strategic transportation assets to move

• Updated quarterly or if changes occurMust include secondary loads and containersMust be accurate: models, quantities, serial #s,

bumper numbers, dimensions and weightsAUEL is used to create the DEL• DEL = List of all deploying equipment requiring

strategic transportation assets to move



5 Phases of Deployments

• Predeployment activities

• Fort to port

• Port to port

• Port to destination (RSO&I)

• Redeployment

Predeployment Actions

• METL training

• Deployment training– Unit Movement Officer Responsibilities– Unit HAZMAT handler/certifier Responsibilities– Rear Detachment

• Soldier Readiness Processing (SRP/POM/PDP)

• Prepare to move



METL Training

• Train your unit to fight and win.

• METL focused• Marksmanship

• Common tasks

• Gunnery

• Trained crews

• Collective tasks

– Non-negotiable contract with the American people to fight and win the Nation’s wars.

Virtually everythingalways comes back to these things.



• Train your unit to deploy:– Appoint and train UMOs as required.– Appoint and train HAZMAT handlers/certifiers as

required.– Appoint and train Rear Detachment Commander.– Ensure your Family Readiness Group is ready.– Review/develop unit movement plans and SOPs

and movement book .

Deployment Training



Unit Movement Officer• Ideally, 1 lieutenant and 2 NCOs (usually E-6 and

above) in your unit.

• Prepare and maintain unit movement plans/SOPs/Books.

• Prepare, maintain and submit changes to the AUEL.

• Supervise the preparation and execution of unit load plans.

• Coordinate with higher HQ and supporting activities.



Unit Movement Officer• Coordinate logistical support for the move.• Maintain approved copies of all unit load plans.• Establish and train the unit load teams.• Familiar with OPLANS, TPFDDs, and methods of deployment

for the unit.• Conduct reconnaissance of routes, POEs and deployment

processing centers as applicable.

BOTTOM LINE: YOUR UMOs WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOUR DEPLOYMENT.



HAZMAT• Determine the hazards and

classify them.

• Determine and select the proper packaging.

• Determine segregation requirements.

• Mark the packaging/containers IAW local and regulatory standards.

• Prepare HAZMAT packing lists.

• Determine proper placards.

• Ensure the AUEL/DEL reflects HAZMAT codes as applicable.

• Appointment considerations.

• Know the standards.

• Know your installation POC.



Rear Detachment

• Pay this bill up front. • Some installations have formal school.• Key player in your FRG.• Give them a mission.

– Train and deploy replacements.– Prepare for backfill for L&O mission.

• Property accountability.



Family Readiness Group

• Combat multiplier

• Preventative---not reactive

• Size and disposition is personality driven

• Commander/1SG will set the tone

What are they VSWhat they are not



Movement Plans

• Written in 5 paragraph OPLAN format.• MACOMs/Installations establish standards.• Working documents at unit level.• Effective plans define:

– Responsibilities– Functions– Details for the move from home station to the

POE.• Sample in FM 55-15.



Movement Plans• General requirements:

– No classified material.– N-Hour Sequence.– Load plans developed and tested for all equipment.– Supplemental transportation requirements

identified.– Supplemental containers and packing materials

identified.– POCs for all supporting agencies.



Movement SOP• Outlines functions to occur automatically.• May include:

– Alert procedures.– Property disposition.– Supply procedures.– Equipment maintenance procedures.– Vehicle and container loading.– Security procedures.– Unit briefings.



Movement Book• Book of Annexes• Movement Plan• Movement SOP• Appointment orders• Alert Rosters• List of Support agency

POCs and phone numbers• Rear Detachment SOP

and FRG information

• Strip maps for routes of march

• Spill contingency plan• Special hauling permit

requests• Convoy clearance

requests• Copy of AUEL/DEL• Equipment analysis• Supply analysis



• All classes of supply• 2756-1 or 581 prepared for each item• Yellow TAT, Red TAT and NTAT

– Yellow TAT: Must accompany troops and be accessible enroute.

– Red TAT: Must be available at destination before or upon arrival of unit.

– NTAT: Does not accompany troops.

Supply Analysis



Soldier Readiness Processing

• Plan and execute to standard.– Most installations require every six months.– Maximize participation--green cycle.

• Centralize packet maintenance in OPS.• Spot check the packets after you take command.• Develop systems to maintain the packets.

– Medics– Training/OPS– PAC

First Sergeant




• Nondeployable soldiers– ARs 614-30 and 220-1 outline criteria.

• Postal Instructions• SGLI/DD93 updated• ID tags/ID card• Finance• Legal services (POAs and wills)• Immunizations• Pregnancy testing




• DNA sample• Eyeglasses/optical inserts• Dental exam/panographic X-ray• POV registration/prep for storage• Religious support• Training records screening• Personnel records screening• Support Agencies (Red Cross, ACS, AER)



Prepare to Move• Request BBPCT (blocking, bracing, packing, crates

and tie-down).• Request transportation support.• Request containers.• Submit convoy clearance requests.• Execute briefings.• Store personal property (barracks/POVs).• Establish security measures (access/key control).• Pack, load, clear installation, and move.

Port to Destination (RSO&I)

• Reception

• Staging

• Onward Movement

• Integration

Force does not exist for mobility but mobility for force. It is of no use to get there first unless, when the enemy arrives, you have also the most men-the greater force.

RADM Alfred Thayer Mahan:Lessons of the War with Spain (1899)



Reception

• Definition

• Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD)

• Seaport of Debarkation (SPOD)



Staging

• Definition

• Theater Staging Base (TSB)

• Preparation for onward movement

In order to make assured conquests it is necessary always to proceed within the rules: to advance, to establish yourself solidly, to advance and establish yourself again, and always prepared to have within reach of your Army resources and your requirements.

Frederick the GreatInstructions for His Generals, 1747



Onward Movement

• Definition

• Movement control

• Security and enemy interdiction

Overwhelming combat power is achieved when all combat elements are violently brought to bear quickly, giving the enemy no opportunity to respond with coordinated or effective opposition.

FM 3-0, Operations



Integration

• Definition

• Integration process

The more I see of war, the more I realize how it all depends on administration and transportation...It takes little skill or imagination to see where you would like your army to be and when; it takes much knowledge and hard work to know where you can place your forces and whether you can maintain them there.

Field Marshall A. C. P. Wavell (1883-1950)



Redeployment

• 4 Phases– Recovery, reconstitution and predeployment

activities.– Movement to and activities at the POEs.– Movement to PODs.– RSO&I

• Nearly deployment in reverse

• Must consider during deployment process.
