MTMC Terminal Operations: Restructuring for the Future

摘要

The current Military Traffic Management Command terminal organizations and structure were developed during the Cold War and have changed little since that time. The time is right to restructure the terminal operations capability to achieve the deployment requirements of the Mobility Requirements Study 05 and the Army Transformation Objective Force in an efficient and effective manner. The efficiency and effectiveness of terminal operations is tied to the units' design, capability, and employment concept. These factors have second order effects as to the corresponding size, agility, and composition of the structure. The Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) terminal operations units can be streamlined and integrated to align the resources more closely to the tasks. The development of standardized, multicomponent AC/RC terminal units will improve effectiveness and enhanced agility will allow for reductions in the current terminal structure while meeting near term and future deployment timeline objectives.
