United States Transportation Command Annual Command Report 2006
Abstract
United States Transportation Command's (USTRANSCOM's) core competencies are evolving beyond planning and executing inter-theater transportation. Since 2003, USTRANSCOM has been responsible for the synchronization and interoperability of distribution-related activities supporting force projection, sustainment, and redeployment/retrograde of military forces and materiel. USTRANSCOM is a supporting command improving Department of Defense (DoD) distribution to increase the Joint Force Commander's freedom of action across the full range of military operations. USTRANSCOM's assigned responsibilities are providing common-user and commercial transportation, terminal management and aerial refueling; providing global patient movement for DoD through the Defense Transportation System; serving as the Mobility Joint Force Provider; and Distribution Process Owner (DPO) for DoD. USTRANSCOM executes its mission through three component commands: Air Mobility Command (AMC), Military Sealift Command (MSC), and the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC). In addition to the major transportation component commands, USTRANSCOM maintains a global courier network for the expeditious, cost effective, and secure distribution of highly classified and sensitive material. USTRANSCOM's Defense Courier Division exercises operational control of global courier activities. The division oversees and synchronizes the activities of 19 courier stations servicing over 6,000 accounts. Major accounts include the White House, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and other authorized federal agencies.
