Agile Transportation for the 21st Century (AT21) Theater Capability

Abstract

Through the Theater Enterprise Deployment and Distribution (TED2) analysis, the Geographic Combatant Commanders identified several gaps between United States Transportation Commands strategic lift processes and Geographic Combatant Commander's distribution processes. Highlighted is a lack of capability to (1.) manage transportation planning and execution processes for cargo and passenger movement within their respective theaters of operation or (2.) match global movement requirements against available lift assets to produce an optimized transportation schedule that meets delivery requirements. AT21 Increment 3 Theater Capability will identify key touch points between strategic and theater processes and synchronize end-to-end delivery of personnel, equipment and supplies by providing enhanced visibility, collaboration, automated processes, alerts and exception management capability supporting transportation planning and execution for theater force and sustainment movements. When fully implemented, it will provide opportunities to streamline cargo movement by optimizing capacity and provide complete visibility by synchronizing theater movements with strategic movements.
