Strategic Mobility 21: SM21 CONOPS Revised - Phase II, Joint Force Deployment and Distribution Support Platform: Joint Operational Concept

Abstract

The Strategic Mobility 21 (SM21) Joint Deployment and Distribution Process Technology Demonstration program was mandated by Congress to research, develop, and demonstrate advanced multi-modal logistics technology. The program resulted in the development of an advanced logistics concept known as the Joint Deployment and Distribution Support Platform (JDDSP). The JDDSP combines the physical elements and capabilities of an agile port system (APS) with an information technology enabling architecture that includes business process reengineering and decision support prototype. The concept was initially developed to support dual-use, military and commercial, goods movement in Southern California utilizing a selected inland multi-modal freight hub, or Integrated Logistics Center (ILC), located at Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA) in Victorville, California as the prototype platform. The JDDSP is designed to provide dual-use load consolidation, cross-dock transshipment support, a logistics buffer, and joint logistics education and training capabilities
