Purpose and Agenda

Commander’s Intent

Commander’s Intent for Training and Education – If USTRANSCOM were to face a national crisis

tomorrow, for example a major theater war demanding full mobilization, or a natural disaster of the

scope of a Hurricane Katrina, we will be ready to execute our mission to the same high standards

with which we conduct our day to day activities. To maintain this level of readiness, the training and

education program has these three goals:

 

1. Treat job performance activities as training events. Link the activity to joint mission essential tasks and distribution process owner requirements and assess them periodically for improved effectiveness, efficiency and readiness.

 

2. Take full advantage of the major training events. Use challenging scenarios within our Tier 1 exercises to train and assess individual, staff, component and operations center performance. Adopt a “perform outside the business as usual box” attitude and integrate across the staff.

 

3. Maintain steady-state readiness in preparation for an uncertain future. Continue to execute sustainment operations in support of global commitments to high standards while at the same time developing individuals and teams that will ensure future success. Individual and directorate level training and education are key in this regard, including an emphasis on joint logistician development.

RequirementsModule

SchedulingModule

Fulfillment Generator

The Fulfillment Generator replicates the national stock level and depot system of all classes of supply and their stored locations. Requisitions are fulfilled and a movement request is sent to the Scheduler.

Requirements Generator

The Requirements Generator accepts inputs from a war fight model and generates requisition level detail for attrited and consumed goods. Requirements are generated from three primary areas: the war fight, planned sustainment, and force flow.

Scheduler

The Scheduler accepts movement requests and produces schedules and Transportation Control Number (TCN) level manifests for movement of requirements from fulfillment locations to the port of debarkation.

FulfillmentModule

The War Fight Model

The War Fight Model generates attrition and consumption based on a particular Combatant Commander’s (COCOM) war fight. This information passes to the Requirements Generator to begin the process to replenish those goods attrited or consumed.

Command and Control (C2) Systems

C2 systems identified by COCOMS, component commands, and national partners are populated with schedules and TCN level manifests to provide Total Asset Visibility (TAV).

Conclusion

• Three goals – Treat job performance activities as training events. Link the

activity to joint mission essential tasks and distribution process owner requirements

– Take full advantage of major training events– Maintain steady state readiness with a program that includes

the individual development component

• Program recognizes the individual training and education requirement throughout the process– JDDE competency model

• Yet to be done: the complete collective to individual connection
