Unit Deployment Process Flashcards
Large-scale combat operations are?
extensive joint combat operations in terms of scope and size of forces committed, conducted as a campaign aimed at achieving
operational and strategic objectives
Deploying Principles are?
- Precision
- Synchronization.
- Knowledge.
- Speed
Precision applies to?
every activity and piece of data. Its effect is far-reaching, and the payoff is speed.
Synchronization normally requires?
explicit coordination among the deploying units and staffs, supporting units and staffs, a variety of civilian agencies, and other Services.
Knowledge is?
One of the more critical pieces in deployment planning is the knowledge upon which decisions are made. There is a short period of time during which the deploying commander must make crucial decisions on employment. These decisions set the tone for the remainder of the deployment. Many decisions are very hard to change and have significant adverse impacts if changed; others are irrevocable.
Speed is?
is the proper focus on the velocity of the entire force projection process, from planning to force closure. Critical elements of speed associated with force projection include agile (state-of-the-art) ports, submission of accurate information, safe and efficient loading, trained unit movement personnel at all levels, timely arrival of throughput enablers, maintaining unit integrity, delivering capability rather than entire units, and force tracking information.
Phases of Deployment are?
I. Deployment planning- interwoven through all phases
II. Pre-deployment activities
II. Movement- includes 2 segments: fort to port and port to port
IV. (Not discuss in this lesson) Joint RSOI
The initial activity in deployment planning is?
developing a plan using the
Military Decision Making Process (MDMP).
Pre-deployment planning includes:
analyze the mission
structure forces
refine deployment data
prepare the force
schedule movement
Successful deployment planning requires:
knowledge of the unit’s deployment responsibilities
understanding of the total deployment process
What is Force Projection?
the ability to project the military instrument of national power from the United States or another theater, in response to requirements for military operations
THE SEQUENTIAL MODEL DIRECTS?
UNITS, ONCE MOBILIZED, TO ASSEMBLE AT HS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT POINTS OF ORIGIN (EPO) TO PREPARE SOLDIERS AND DEPLOYING EQUIPMENT FOR MOVEMENT TO AN MFGI. RC UNITS COMPLETE POST-MOBILIZATION TASKS USING DEPLOYING EQUIPMENT. ONCE VALIDATED FOR DEPLOYMENT
THE SIMULTANEOUS MODEL DIRECTS?
UNITS, ONCE MOBILIZED, TO ASSEMBLE AT HS OR OTHER EPO TO PREPARE SOLDIERS AND ORGANIC EQUIPMENT FOR MOVEMENT. DEPLOYING EQUIPMENT IS MOVED TO THE PORT OF EMBARKATION (POE) AND SOLDIERS MOVE, WITH TO ACCOMPANY TROOPS (TAT) EQUIPMENT.
What is a MFGI?
a Mobilization Force Generation Installation are Army installations, Joint bases, or federally active state-operated installations designated to provide mobilization support for both current and contingency operations. MFGIs provide pre and post mobilization readiness support, deployment preparation in support of Combatant Command requirements.
What is a PPP?
Army installation, joint bases, capable of deploying one or more Army brigades or larger formations IAW Combatant Command requirements.
Installations designated as Power Projected Platforms (PPP) can deploy a Brigade sized force or larger upon notification to meet CCMD OPLAN requirements within?
10 days or less.
Mobilization Force Generation Installation (MFGIs) designated as Primary and Active are capable of mobilizing designated forces within?
14 days of notification of alert.
Ready-to-load date (RLD).
This date is when a unit must be prepared to depart its origin (installation for AC and Mobilization Station for RC). Note that on our example TPFDD the RLD is given as C0 or C-Day.
Available-to-load date (ALD).
This is the date when the unit must be ready to load an aircraft or ship at the POE. On our example TPFDD the unit has three days (C-Day, C+1 and C+2) to move from their installation/Mobilization Station to the POE.
Earliest arrival date (EAD).
This represents the earliest date on which a unit, a re-supply shipment, or replacement personnel, can be accepted at a POD during a deployment (this might be dictated by the tactical situation or congestion at the POD).
‘Latest arrival date’ (LAD)
represents the latest date on which a unit, a re-supply shipment, or replacement personnel can be accepted at a POD to support the concept of operations
Required delivery date (RDD).
This is the date (specified by the combatant commander) by which a unit, re-supply shipment, or replacement personnel must have arrived at the POD and completed offloading to support the concept of operations.

Planning for packing & loading unit equipment is an important deployment preparation activity:
Involves identifying actual space, weight, packaging material & external transport requirements
Proper planning saves valuable time when ordered to deploy
Weights for most military cargo is marked on the package; however, you must verify actual weights:
Unmarked cargo must be weighed before loading
Total shipment weight should be equal to the sum of the individual cargo weights
Dense cargo can cause a container/vehicle’s weight limit to be reached before the cargo space is filled
pointed Container Control Officer (CCO) is responsible for?
control, reporting, use and maintenance of all DoD – owned and controlled intermodal containers and equipment from time received until dispatched within their AOR.
The 463L pallet weighs?
290 pounds without cargo
The pallet must be loaded such that the Center of Balance (CB) of the pallet lies within?
24” by 28” rectangle at the center of the pallet.
General loading guidance for pallet?
Metal on metal contact is not allowed and mitigated with wood or cardboard.
HAZMAT material must be labeled and stored properly
DD Form 1750 identifies, in detail, the contents of a?
container, vehicle, trailer carrying secondary cargo, 463L pallet, and/or multi-pack box
The four segments of reception staging onward movement and integration (RSOI) are:
Reception
Staging
Onward Movement
Integration
Reception is?
is the process of receiving, off-loading, marshalling, and transporting of personnel, equipment, and materiel from strategic and/or intratheater deployment phase to a sea, air, or surface transportation POD to the marshalling area.
Staging is?
assembling, temporarily holding, and organizing arriving personnel, equipment, and materiel into forces and capabilities and preparing them for onward movement, tactical operations, or Service reintegration.
Onward movement is?
the process of moving forces, capabilities, and
accompanying materiel from reception facilities, marshalling areas, and SAs to TAAs and/or OAs or onward from the POD or other reception areas to the home/demobilization station.
Integration is?
the synchronized transfer of capabilities into an operational
commander’s force prior to mission execution or back to the component/Service.
TPFDD is?
Time Phased Force Deployment Data
a database that contains information about the movement of military units and forces, as well as cargo and personnel, over time
Reception functions consists of:
Personnel
Airfield management (A/DACG)
Materials handling equipment (MHE)
Maintenance
Transportation resources
Security
Hazardous cargo handling
Medical
Staging functions consists of:
Ship arrival and departure coordination
Coordination for transportation for onward movement
Movement control from seaport of debarkation (SPOD) to marshalling area
Hazardous cargo handling
Port support activity (PSA)
Field services
Onward movement functions consists of:
Food, water, lighting, billeting, showers, and latrines
Security
Communications
Materials and cargo handling
Integration functions consists of:
Synchronized transfer of mission-ready forces and capabilities into the CCDR’s force
Tasks which may take hours or days to complete
Force closure as reported by the commander of the unit (force tracking)
Deploying force has completed movement to the specified OA/destination (force closure)
CDDP
Command Deployment Discipline Program
a tool for commanders to evaluate their unit’s or their subordinate unit’s deployment readiness
combines policy and doctrinal deployment requirements under one program to enable commanders at all levels to maintain their organizations at their appropriate deployment readiness posture to meet Army mission
DREs
Deployment Readiness Exercises
To synchronize and integrate army power projection efforts in order to exercise and evaluate the total deployment process
Name three documents that as a platoon leader, you would provide to the UMO for deployment?
