The TRANSCOM will become a truly a Multi-Compo organization in September of 2002.
In addition to the HQ’s itself, the 32d Group, the 3d TMCA, the 332d Terminal Battalion, and the 824th Heavy Boat Company, will all consist of both Compo 1 & 3 soldiers.
A concept being developed at CASCOM will add Compo 2 (Nat’l Guard) structure to the 143rd down trace. (TCE concept)

Wartime Mission

9. Wartime / Contingency Operation Responsibilities in both MTWs
Mobilize and Deploy to establish theater level Transportation Systems
Develop and Execute theater level
transportation plans, policies, and procedures
Conduct Reception, Staging, and Onward Movement Operations for Army, Joint, and/or Combined Forces
Plan and Execute theater level transportation operations
The TRANSCOM mission is broken down into these primary areas of responsibility. I’ll highlight four of them:
Our Reception, Staging, and Onward Movement challenge is to ensure that the incremental buildup of combat power proceeds according to the CINC’s plan.
Command and Control of our WARTRACE units requires that we provide METL guidance, mission statements, and technical expertise to these units, through day-to-day contact, conferences, and exercises. We have 5 TC Groups WARTRACED to this Command:
- 32d GP, Tampa FL th GP, Butler, PA
- 336th GP, Sheridan, IL th GP, Mobile, AL
- 7th GP an AC Gp located at FT. Eustis, VA
Transportation Planning for both MTWs consumes a large portion of our resources. In order to accomplish our mission, we have established Liaison Officer positions with G-4, 3rd Army and G-4, 8th Army. The Liaison Officers maintain continuity, exchange information, and coordinate training missions with their respective Commands.
As the EAC Theater Transportation Operators we are responsible for meeting all rail, coastal & inland waterway, and highway movement requirements via our subordinate units.
Command and Control EAC transportation units
Operate Theater common user seaport terminals, coastal & inland waterway MSRs, JLOTS sites, rail terminals and line haul truck ops

The 143rd TRANSCOM provides transportation support to our customers, throughout the world. Here is a representation of past and present exercises and contingencies.
Last year we completed a successful “TURBO PATRIOT” JLOTS exercise, that was conducted at Camp Pendleton, CA.
This year we completed “TURBO CADS”, a C/JLOTS exercise that was conducted in June in the Republic of Korea. This was a combine and joint exercise and included AC/RC soldiers, sailors, and ROK Forces. The purpose of the exercise was to replicate Joint delivery of cargo over a bare beach and through a degraded port.
Our next major exercise is Native Atlas ’02, a JLOTS exercise at Camp Pendleton, CA in Apr/May of Our mission will be to download 3d ID equipment from ships, move it over the beach and through a small ports, and then onward to the National Training Center.

17. JLOTS Definition
LOTS is the process of discharging cargo from vessels anchored offshore or in-the-stream, transporting it to shore or pier and marshalling it for onward movement.
JLOTS occurs when Army and Navy units conduct LOTS operations together under a Joint Force Commander.

18. Joint Chiefs of Staff JLOTS Exercise Sponsorship Message
To ensure JLOTS as a strategic capability, it must be realistically exercised each year, and the CINC’s, Services, and JLOTS community must work together to maximize training and maintain operational excellence.
It is essential that programmed funds are available to ensure accomplishment of the JLOTS training objectives.
It is critical that JLOTS is exercised regularly to maintain operational excellence in this important warfighting area.
