Goals of Deployment

• 1 get your soldiers and your equipment to the
  deployment site in a military manner, able to
  fully accomplish the mission that the supported
  Commander needs you for.
• In redeployment, its similar to get your
  soldiers and your equipment back to your home
  station so that you can prepare for further
  missions.

Deployment In Support of a JOPES OPLAN

• Units that deploy under a JOPES OPLAN must
  coordinate their incremental movements to be
  consistent with OPLAN TPFDD requirements, as
  delineated by unit line numbers (ULN).
• The TPFDD includes personnel requirements,
  equipment requirements by type and quantity, and
  movement mode data.
• A ULN is a code that describes a unique increment
  of a unit. For example, it may be used to
  identify the advance party of a unit going by air
  when the unit main body and equipment are going
  by sealift.

5
Key Phrases for Unit Planning

• Ready-to-load date (RLD).
• The date when the unit must be prepared to depart
  its origin.
• Available-to-load date (ALD).
• The date when the unit must be ready to load at
  the POE.
• Earliest arrival date (EAD).
• The earliest date that a unit can be accepted at
  a POD during a deployment. The supported
  commander specifies the EAD.
• Latest arrival date (LAD).
• The latest date when a unit can be accepted at a
  POD to support the concept of operations.
• Required delivery date (RDD).
• The date when a unit must arrive at a POD and
  complete off-loading to support the concept of
  operations.

6
TPFDD Unit Line Numbers ULN

• TPFDD ULNs contain (UIC) designations. The MACOM
  or other higher headquarters assigns ULNs to
  company level deploying units.
• ULNs on the TPFDD divide the unit by
  transportation mode, ports of embarkation or
  debarkation, and movement dates.

7
Unit Movement Planning Considerations

• Identify equipment to accompany troops (yellow
  TAT), and equipment needed immediately upon
  arrival (red TAT).
• Identify hazardous, sensitive and classified
  cargo for packaging, labeling, segregation and
  placarding for movement.
• Identify BBPCT requirements. All loose equipment
  on a vehicle and in a shipping container must be
  blocked, braced, and tied-down to prevent
  shifting during transit.

11
Thoughts on Redeployment

• Rules are similar
• Strictly enforced generally no incentive to
  speed up the system on the part of the
  transporters
• ALD, LAD, RLD, etc., are more guides than they
  are schedules
• No ITO for help no installation to help
• Not much help with TC-ACCIS/TC-AIMS
• You will do air load plans
• You will coordinate movement support
• Learn to inspect and maintain your containers
  the ones you bring are the ones you take home
  generally no way to repair/replace them

HAZMAT Certification Training All personnel
involved with the preparation and shipment of
hazardous materials for commercial or military
transportation must receive training IAW CFR 49,
172.700 through 172.704. Each unit
(company/detachment level) requires at least one
individual trained to certify hazardous cargo.
The commander or supervisor designates these
individuals in writing. The designation must
include the scope of the individuals authority.
These individuals can certify documentation for
all modes of shipment to include commercial and
military truck, rail, sea and air. The
hazardous cargo certifying official is
responsible for ensuring shipments are properly
prepared, packaged, labeled, marked and
placarded. The certifying official is also
responsible for personally inspecting the item
being certified and signing the HAZMAT
documentation.

Commanders also appoint (in writing) HAZMAT
Technical Specialists. These individuals are
trained by HAZMAT certifiers and must have
received their training within the past 24
months. They are only authorized to certify in
their specialty for hazards shipped by DoD owned
and controlled aircraft (see TM 38-250,
Attachment 25) and by surface (see DOD 4500.9-R,
Defense Transportation Regulation Part III).
Technical specialists are responsible for
ensuring the shipment is properly prepared,
packaged and marked and must personally inspect
the item being certified. They also sign the
HAZMAT documentation. (Note Technical
specialists are not authorized to sign Government
Bills of Lading (GBL) or to certify HAZMAT
shipped by commercial scheduled air.

DEPLOYMENT PLANNING CONFERENCE ? The Deployment
Planning Conference brings together the deploying
unit representatives and those garrison staff
agencies that will support the deployment.
Hosted by DPTMS, this is a critical step in
creating the deployment timeline. Units must
request this as early as possible in the
deployment cycle.
