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 Theater Capability, through the implementation of process improvements, integration of commercial transportation management and optimization tools, and development of additional deployment and distribution supporting technology, will provide the capability for combatant commanders to manage theater operations with improved visibility and control for those transportation movements originating from the port of debarkation and delivered to the point of need.
