One Corps, One Regiment, One Team ……. Serving Soldiers, the Army, the Nation “Force Projection is a system of systems” Very complex Very nonlinear must account for bottlenecks/problems Extremely affected by environmental conditions sea state varies day-to-day and year-to-year tides and nearshore bars must connect to inland throughput capabilities Only an objective time-domain tool can provide accurate answers CITM provides correct framework for this tool

One Corps, One Regiment, One Team ……. Serving Soldiers, the Army, the Nation PURPOSE Tool to evaluate force projection capabilities when deep-draft ports are unavailable  Conventional JLOTS  Lift-On/Lift-Off  Roll-On/Roll-Off  Emerging technologies  Theater Support Vessel (TSV)  Enhanced small ports  Identification of limiting factors to throughput  Objective site selection
