Mission Background:
The U.S. Coast Guard has made significant improvements in coordinating and integrating deployment efforts with U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) and across all Department of Defense (DOD) Combatant Commands (CCDR). This allows deploying U.S. Coast Guard forces seamless integration into the Defense Transportation System (DTS), reducing cost and maximizing the use of this broad and shared military logistics system for transporting assets in a controlled environment, minimizing movement delays and increasing in [1] transit visibility. The U.S. Coast Guard has made significant efforts to develop and mature its force deployment planning and execution processes by creating standard deployment capability requirements by ensuring its reference files (Type Unit Characteristics file (TUCHA), Logistics Factors File (LFF) are updated, and developing distinct Unit Type Codes (UTCs) that reflect true deployment capabilities of Coast Guard forces. This allows planners to utilize these capabilities more clearly in the Time Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD) within the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES). Because the U.S. Coast Guard does not have a mobility/distribution centric career field, there has been a shift in effort to focus on providing functional support to operational units in the methodologies and skills needed to successfully deploy and redeploy personnel and equipment to and from both OCONUS and CONUS locations.
