Deployment and Distribution Enterprise Technology

Abstract

USTRANSCOM is tasked to provide globally integrated, agile deployment and distribution solutions as well as related enabling capabilities to support national security, force readiness and sustainability within an increasingly constrained defense budget. Unpredictable/extended global distribution routes, limited visibility of sustainment requirements, force packaging limitations, lift constraints, anti-access/area denial concerns, complex supply chains, as well as non-networked battlefield command and control, planning, and decision support tools impede timely customer logistical support. To project unimpeded global power and influence, USTRANSCOM must have access to relevant, real-time information, invest in enabling capabilities that contribute to mission success, ensure the viability of our capabilities, and implement a relevant transportation strategy. Effective knowledge sharing, decision support and transparency across the joint logistics enterprise, facilitated by secure enterprise-wide visibility into logistical processes as well as the ability to effectively collaborate/operate in a contested cyberspace, is required to promote the effective/efficient/responsive global management of force projection and sustainment resources.

• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2019
• Source ID: 0603713S_3_0400_PB_2019
• Change Summary Explanation: NOTE: In FY 2017, PE 0603713S (BA3) Deployment and Distribution Enterprise Technology and PE 0603264S (BA3) Agile Transportation for the 21st Century Theater were transferred to a single PE in the Air Force budget (PE 0604776F) in order to support auditability, increase management efficiency, and reduce administrative actions. Under the FY2017 CR, this program remained in DLA's baseline. Once the budget was enacted, DLA is working, to get the funding returned from USTRANSCOM. Currently, the remaining programs awaiting the return of funds is Generic Logistics R&D (PE 30603712S) and Defense Agencies Initiatives (DAI) (PE50605080S).
