Ø Incremental build of combat power Ø Time consuming Ø Risky Ø POD dependant Ø Efficiency focused Ø Deploy = Employ Ø Multiple entry points Ø Start line CONUS Ø Effectiveness focused

DEPLOYMENT OPERATIONS… THEN AND NOW DS/DS Delivered Equipment Paradigm Shift • 20 CONUS Seaports Used • 6 Months to Move 33 M Sq Ft Cargo • 33 Break-bulk AMMO Vessels • Limited Visibility— 40% Containers arriving theater had to be opened OEF/OIF Delivered Capability • 9 CONUS Seaports Used • 2 Months to Move 15 M Sq Ft Cargo • Zero Break-bulk AMMO Vessels • 100% Visibility (ITV) for Containers Prior to Lift • TAV Built Warfighter Confidence

Map Engine: MOVEMENT TRACKING SYSTEM (MTS) • Full color maps (NIMA and CADRG) • Active map layers • Supports computer generated vehicle icons with time/date Two-way messaging: • • Multi-Satellite Capable Supports automated polling 400 days unlimited usage Built-in, Selectable Level of Encryption V 2 Truck. Mounted Control Station MT-2010 / 2011 Transceiver GPS PLGR with All Units 10 year warranty HP Color Portable Desk jet Printer Laptop Computer Desired Capabilities: • Interface with STAMIS • Enhanced Signal Security • Vehicle Diagnostics/prognostics • Interface with FBCB 2 37% AAO Funded • AAO: 37, 718 • Funded: 13, 965 • Fielded: 2, 482

Must possess these vital qualities: Joint Operational Pay-offs FUTURE LIFTintroduction of forces • More rapid • Bypass predictable and traditional choke points • Deliver intact combat power at multiple entry points • Support uninterrupted deployment momentum • Provide for assured access, and decrease predictability and dwell time Army Lead for Intratheater Lift Theater Support Vessel HLVTOL Shallow Draft High Speed Ship SSTOL • Increased capability to achieve assured access • Reduced vulnerability to enemy counters • Increased possibility of achieving operational surprise • Immediate employment of deployed forces • More rapid seizure of the initiative with preclusive effects • Significantly higher versatility and adaptability • More rapid transition to decisive operations • Expanded capability to maintain overwhelming tempo • More rapid achievement of conflict termination and/or transition to another JOA

FTTS ACTD OBJECTIVE Load Handling System Med & Heavy Truck Variants Numerous Material Handling Equipment FTTS-MSV Modular Platform Numerous Delivery Platforms FTTS-UV provides Command Control and includes a Hybrid propulsion system for increased fuel efficiency and onboard power Numerous Interface Devices A SEAMLESS Distribution SYSTEM built for the Obj Force (Applied to the SBCT to evolve the TTPs, CONOPS, and doctrine)

SUMMARY OF CHANGE TODAY TOMORROW • Incremental build of combat power. Four interrelated segments • Operational maneuver from strategic distances. Deploy = Employ • Alert/Train/Deploy • Train/Alert/Deploy • Lengthy TPFDD process • Immediate data entry into DTS • Lengthy task organization process with below the • Prompt “as is” deploying modules with basic line forces load • POD dependent/susceptible to anti-access • Multiple entry points/bypass choke points • Joint deconfliction • Joint interdependence • Large, layered organizations for deployment and distribution gap between early entry and followon forces • Agile teams with space-based persistent comms for both deployment and distribution • Uninterrupted deployment momentum • Ammunition in theater • Deploy with ammunition • Iron mountain • Distribution-based; intermodal (configured loads for prompt force) • Developed theaters • All theaters

BACKUP SLIDES

THEATER LIFT Theater Support Vessel • • • Length Overall - 318. 11 ft, beam - 87. 03 ft Cargo Capacity: Up to 820 STs & 14, 300 Sq. Ft Pax Capacity: 292 Max draft – 11. 03 ft. Loaded Speed - 32 knots - light ship Speed - 40 knots. Max Required Range - 2, 400 nautical miles - load dependent • Rapidly self-deploy to the JOA (soldiers, equipment, and sustainment together) • Increase access • Conduct rapid shore to shore intra-theater sea lift of combat ready unit sets to support operational maneuver • Gain access through multiple points of entry through small, minor or degraded ports • Conduct enroute mission planning and rehearsal • Conduct follow-on sustainment and/or repositioning of units in forward areas TSV is the only Army unique intra-theater lift platform that meets Army Transformation Vision Goals

OEF/OIF OBSERVATIONS • ITV and electronic tracking – Lack integrating policy – Need DOTMLPF battlefield construct for manned and remote systems – Redesign movement control (structure and doctrine) – Modernize transportation C 2 tools (TC AIMS II, MTS) • Logistics and contracting – Host Nation Support and LOGCAP – Failed to meet expectations and requirements • Weapon system fielding – Movement Tracking System – TCAIMS / IRRIS / RFID – KALMAR RTCH

OIF/OEF OBSERVATIONS • Theater distribution – Established strategic linkage and operational Command Control – Commodity distribution – Lacked In-transit Visibility and materiel / transportation integration • Army prepositioned stocks – Largest draw in history – Fighting systems were in excellent shape – Complex property transfer • Army watercraft and Joint Logistics Over the Shore – Largest since Vietnam (>5, 000 containers) – Theater Support Vessel operational significance – Army support to 26 Marine Expeditionary Unit

DEPLOYMENT OBSERVATIONS • Post ODS Army Strategic Mobility Program (ASMP) • CONUS Force Projection – Rail capacity tripled at Hood, quadrupled at Campbell – Shipped over 380, 000 tons in third less time than first Gulf War – Use of Large Medium Speed Roll-On/Roll-Off (LMSR) and C-17 eliminated weeks in transit time Army Deployment Command Control – Improved deployment process – TC-AIMS II/JFRG II in USAREUR – HQ MTMC Operations center – good start! – Deployment seams remain in process / command
