Ph II. Movement to POE Activities -- TSC Theater Support Command (TSC) Actions: Establish procedures to process APS & excess materiel Establish & operate convoy support centers and POE marshaling areas Control unit movements to POE

Phase II. Movement to POE Activities -- Redeploying Unit Unit & UMO Movement Activities in AA or RAA: Develop and refine the UDL Pack and load containers -- must comply with agriculture and customs requirements Identify BBPCT, container, flatrack and 463L pallet requirements

Phase II. Movement to POE Activities -- Unit (Cont) UMO & Unit Movement Activities in AA or RAA: (Cont’) Conduct wash-down and customs inspection Prepare to provide load teams & drivers to POE Process excess equipment for turn-in If deploying to new theater for operations, draw and receive required equipment

Phase II. Movement to POE Activities -- Unit (Cont) UMO & Unit Movement Activities in AA or RAA: (Cont’) Load equipment, containers, flatracks and 463L pallets -- Coordinate with customs prior to loading containers & military vans (MILVANS) Configure equipment for transport (e.g., convoy, rail)

Phase II. Activities at the POE Units redeploy through APOEs and SPOEs Could also redeploy via rail and road POE procedures are same for redeployment to home station & redeployment to second theater of operations

Phase II. Activities at the POE -- TSC TSC Activities: Control unit moves from combat zone to POE Operate marshaling area/equipment turn-in sites Provide or coordinate DACG & PSA support, as required

Phase II. Activities at the POE-- Redeploying Unit UMO & Unit Movement Activities upon arrival at POE Unit normally moves to POE marshaling area Unit prepares unit equipment & personnel for processing through POE operations areas Send liaison officer to POE operations area and equipment turn-in/issue sites

Phase II. Activities at the POE -- Redeploying Unit (Cont) UMO & Unit Movement Activities upon arrival at POE (Cont’) Move equipment to turn-in sites, as required Move load teams to APOE/SPOE operating areas, as required Load containers that were not stuffed in assembly areas

Phase II. Activities at the POE -- Redeploying Unit (Cont) UMO & Unit Movement Activities upon arrival at POE (Cont’) Finalize movement documentation (UDLs, HAZMAT, cargo load plans, MSLs, AIT storage devices) Conduct customs (if not previously completed in AA or RAA) Conduct final wash-down

On Learning

On Learning QUESTION 1: What redeployment specific US Government clearance processes must the unit plan for and undergo in theater prior to departing the POE for CONUS locations? Answer 1: Prior to departing POD: All DoD equipment/cargo is inspected by Customs & USDA Soldiers and their baggage clear customs

On Learning QUESTION 2: For units redeploying to home station in CONUS, who does the UMO coordinate with at the POD for onward movement of personnel and equipment Answer 2: UMOs coordinate with supporting installation ITO reps to arrange/finalize onward movement to home station

On Review

On Review Question 1: How does the UMO determine the various transit areas in theater that the unit will use during redeployment? Answer 1: The JFC or ASCC/ARFOR redeployment operations plan or order identifies transit areas. Specific redeploying unit areas are normally identified in the unit’s higher hqs movement plans and orders

On Review Question 2: When arriving at the redeployment POE marshaling area, the redeploying unit should provide liaison officers to what organizations? Answer 2: The unit sends liaison personnel to POE operations area for coordination with port operations staff, DACG, and the PSA, and to equipment turn-in sites (as required).

On Review Question 3: In what redeployment phase does the installation have primary responsibility for providing support to units that are redeploying to home station? Answer 3: During Ph IV, (RSO&I), supporting installations normally have responsibility for supporting unit arrival at POD, and onward movement to destination.
