This system automates base-level cargo processing during peacetime and wartime.

CMOS

This system automates shipment processing at aerial ports.

Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES)

This system is an information management and data communications system used by the US Army active and reserve components to plan and executedeployments during day-to-day operations and crisis situations.

Transportation Coordinator Automated Command andControl Information System (TC ACCIS)

This system is the standard Army management information system (MIS) for transportation. It provides an automated information processing capability forplanning, programming, coordinating, and controlling movements and transportation resources in a theater of operation.

Department of the Army Movement ManagementSystem (DAMMS)

This system is an AIS designed to support ocean cargo documentation requirements and terminal management functions. The system allows you to generate forms (i.e., the TCMD), as well as reports vital to export and import procedures. In addition to the GTN, the WPS interfaces with the Transportation Operational Personal Property Standard System (TOPS) and Integrated Booking System (IBS).

Worldwide Port System (WPS)

This system is a major Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) information system initiative, supporting the integration of existing traffic management functionality found in the Automated System for Processing Unit Requirements (ASPUR), Mechanized Export Traffic System (METS II), The Automated Cargo Offering System (TACOS), and Automated Carrier Interface (ACI). The IBS provides a single, worldwide, automated booking system to support peacetime and wartime movement of unit and sustainment cargo in an efficient and timely manner. The IBS also supports new SDDC business practices by automating the booking process between DOD shippers and ocean carriers. When fully operational, the system will operate in the continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental United States (OCONUS). Currently, the IBS books inbound cargo from a limited number of areas.



IBS

Shield/Desert Storm highlighted in existing cargo movement systems:1. The fragmentation of logistics information systems.2. The inability to integrate joint planning data with service-unique executiondata.In October of 1993, the Secretary of Defense issued a memorandum containing guidance for a thorough vertical and horizontal integration of defense AISs. The memorandum ordered the accelerated migration of existing parallel or stovepipe systems into single multi-purpose, multi-service AISs. Although still under development by the US Army, TC–AIMS II will provide an integrated information transportation system capability for routine deployment sustainment and redeployment/retrograde operations by employing the same DOD and service shipment policies and procedures in peace and war in active and reserve forces. The TC–AIMS II is scheduled to replace the CMOS and will become a critical component of the IDS, feeding information to the GTN.

Transportation Coordinators AutomatedInformation For Movement Systems, Version II (TC–AIMS II)

• Preaudit invoice payments.• Collaboratively resolve invoice exceptions.• Make electronic payments.• Gain real time visibility to operations, logistics, and financial information.• Integrate data from other systems (i.e., CMOS, CONUS Freight Management System—Electronic Transportation Acquisition [CFM–ETA]).

The impairment of quality, value, or usefulness of an item.

Deterioration

Pub to consult for details on preservation of DOD owned cargo:

AFPAM(I)24–237 and


MIL–STD–2073,Department ofDefense Standard Practice for Military Packaging.

This levelof preservation provides protection required to meet the most severe worldwideshipment,handling,and storage conditions.


Examples:


• War reserve materiel (WRM) items.


• Mobilization items and equipment.


• Strategic and theater deployment items.


• Items that are exposed during transit.

Level A preservation

This levelof preservation is protection required to meet moderate worldwide shipment,handling, andstorage conditions.


Examples:


• FMS items.


•Containerized overseas shipments.ڮ9

Level B preservation

This cushioning material consists of any suitable natural hair, vegetablefiber, or synthetic fiber bound with an elastic material.




This type of cushioning is used to protect items against vibration and impact shockswhen resilient and water-resistant cushions are required.

Bound fiber (PPP–C–1120).

This material is intended for use in packing lightweight, fragile items thatrequire protection against abrasion.



Water-resistant cellulose cushioning (A–A–1898).

This material can be rigid or flexible foam. It comes prefoamed or broken down into a two-liquid FIP system.

Polyurethane foam (MIL–PRF–26514)

This cushioning comes in sheets (soft, medium, firm,or extra firm) or rolls. It is especially useful where a high degree of protection is required in asmall space with a minimum of cushioning weight.

Polystyrene cushioning (PPP–C–850).

Formula for center of balance

(D1 x W1) + (D2 x W2) / GVW = CB

This is the difference between the original thickness of a cushioning material and thethickness of the same material after it has been released from compression. Compressionset is undesirable because it creates free space in the container for items to move around.

Compression set

The ability of a material to absorb a series of shocks and return to its original shape andthickness after each shock.

Resilience

This is the time it takes for a cushioning material to return to its original shape aftercompression.

Rate of recovery

This is a cushioning material’s ability to absorb any liquid that may spill inside the containerdue to breakage.

Liquid absorptioncapacity

factors that must be considered whenprotecting precision surfaces, such as the lenses of optical instruments.

Abrasiveness

These are the softwoods that are relatively free from splitting and have moderate nail-holding powerand strength. They are lightweight and easy to work with.

Group I

These are the heavier softwoods. They have better nail-holding power than the Group I woods, butare more inclined to split.

Group II

These are the medium-density hardwoods. They have about the same nail-holding power as GroupII woods, but are less inclined to split. This type of wood is most useful for making box ends andcleats.

Group III

These are the hardwoods. They are very heavy and hard to work with. They have the greatest nailholdingpower of all the woods, but are easy to split.

Group 4

This type of crate consists of lumber sheeting nailed over theframework. Diagonal frame members are required to brace the sheathing and avoid rackingstresses (sideways stress caused when lifting one end).

Lumber-sheathed crate—

This type of crate is similar to the lumber-sheathed crate, except ithas plywood sheathing over the framework. Diagonal frame members are not required on thiscrate because of plywood’s natural ability to resist racking stresses.

Plywood-sheathed crate

This crate consists of an open framework of horizontal, vertical, and diagonalmembers. It is designed primarily as a convenience in handling and storage.
