Book excerpt: The paper examines the problems uncovered in the exercise and examines why the JDA was not able to fix them. After looking at the arguments for and against unification, we will finally attempt to project the answer to the question: 'Can Unification Solve the Problems? To understand the impact that this new organization might have on the future mobilization efforts of the Department or Defense, it might be illustrative to look at the pre-existing situation in general terms. In this chapter, we will look at the transportation operating agencies (TOA) of the three major commands, their missions and resources. We will see what each is able to contribute to the structure of national mobilization efforts. And we will see how each provides one leg to the Defense Transportation System.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spearhead of Logistics is a narrative branch history of the U.S. Army's Transportation Corps, first published in 1994 for transportation personnel and reprinted in 2001 for the larger Army community. The Quartermaster Department coordinated transportation support for the Army until World War I revealed the need for a dedicated corps of specialists. The newly established Transportation Corps, however, lasted for only a few years. Its significant utility for coordinating military transportation became again transparent during World War II, and it was resurrected in mid-1942 to meet the unparalleled logistical demands of fighting in distant theaters. Finally becoming a permanent branch in 1950, the Transportation Corps continued to demonstrate its capability of rapidly supporting U.S. Army operations in global theaters over the next fifty years. With useful lessons of high-quality support that validate the necessity of adequate transportation in a viable national defense posture, it is an important resource for those now involved in military transportation and movement for ongoing expeditionary operations. This text should be useful to both officers and noncommissioned officers who can take examples from the past and apply the successful principles to future operations, thus ensuring a continuing legacy of Transportation excellence within Army operations. Additionally, military science students and military historians may be interested in this volume.

Download or read book Transportation Command written by Donald W. Lamb and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of the United States Transportation Command in 1987 was a major milestone. The unified command, as part of the new Goldwater-Nichols era of strengthened joint activities, was set up as a wartime command. The initial implementation plan for TRANSCOM left open key issues on command relationships and peacetime authority. The development of emerging roles and missions for USTRANSCOM is presented, along with insights into the process and the opposing points of view. Observations on organizational strengths, obstacles to total restructuring, service concerns and a recounting of the methods chosen to implement change are detailed. The future roles and relationships are examined as force structure and service doctrine evolve. A look forward suggests that further refinement may be necessary to overcome obstacles and to achieve assured force deployment capabilities.

Book excerpt: "Throughout the history of the United States, when the need arose for the nation to move its military forces from point A to point B, the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force deployed unilaterally. There was no single point of contact for transportation. If an Army unit had to move from Fort Bragg, NC, to Stuttgart, Germany, for example, their equipment might go by rail to Charleston, SC, where it would be taken by sea to Antwerp, Belgium. There, it would be unloaded from the ship and placed on a train and taken by rail to Stuttgart. From there it would be again unloaded and reloaded on a truck to be taken to the final destination. The people in the unit would travel by bus to the airport, fly to Frankfurt, get bussed to Stuttgart, and wait for their equipment to arrive. For many, many years a move such as this, which happens routinely, required the unit transportation officer to coordinate with people in the other services and civilian transportation companies to route the passengers and equipment from the origin through many transportation systems to arrive at the final destination. Whether or not it would all arrive safely could not readily be determined while the cargo was in transit. Today, that whole scenario is taken care of with one phone call. The transportation officer simply picks up the phone and dials 1-800-USTRANSCOM to arrange for all of the people and cargo to be transported from Fort Bragg to Stuttgart. All of the coordination still must be accomplished for the equipment and people to reach their final destination, but now the professionals at U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) and its Transportation Component Commands -- the Air Force's Air Mobility Command, the Army's Military Traffic Management Command, and the Navy's Military Sealift Command -- take care of the details. This monograph chronicles the creation of USTRANSCOM and its involvement in military operations, military exercises, and humanitarian and relief efforts from 1987 to 1997."--Abstract.
