Joint Transportation Interface

Abstract

Synchronizing strategic/theater delivery capabilities to meet increasingly dynamic customer needs. Transportation information exchange across the DoD is inhibited by the disparity of systems, differing data standards, and insufficient interfaces. Queries and retrieval of status and shipment information cannot be executed due to lack of connectivity between the various components of the supply chain. The ability to maintain situational awareness of movements at macro/micro (drill down) levels, with associated force and sustainment cargo on board; to track force packages progress, and rapidly determine the impact of any delays or changes to sailing progress and arrival at port of debarkation; and to conduct "what -if" impact assessment of possible changes to delivery asset’s course, speed or departure/arrival information as it relates to force or force package delivery/impact of any change on the closure of force packages in theater is required. The ability of USTRANSCOM to supply transportation support for homeland defense and/or disaster relief depends on effective ways to link with other governmental and civilian agencies. Also need to explore the many barriers across the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE), to include non-DoD government entities, coalition partners, non-government organizations, and commercial industry, which can create confusion/conflict or detract from the optimization of the JDDE.
