(USTCNS) --- The end-to-end, seamless distribution of cargo and equipment from origin to the warfighter will be the theme of a Military Traffic Management Command co-sponsored conference in Hawaii.

The U.S. Army’s 599th Transportation Group and the U.S. Pacific Command are jointly sponsoring their tenth annual Multi-Modal Traffic Management Training Workshop in Honolulu, Hawaii at the Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Hotel, Oct. 21-23.

“The workshop provides an opportunity for military and commercial managers and senior logisticians to learn about the latest in transportation technology and processes that guarantee efficient and timely end-to-end distribution services,” said Col. Peter J. Gitto, Commander, 599th Transportation Group.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Synchronizing Global Distribution for the Warfighter—the Way Ahead.”

“The workshop will include briefings, demonstrations, and hands-on training related to Defense Transportation System multi-modal and traffic management issues,” said Denison Parker, this year’s workshop coordinator from MTMC’s 599th Transportation Group, located at Wheeler Army Airfield, Hawaii.

“The workshop offers opportunities for face-to-face meetings among participants and the possibility of immediate resolution of common multi-service transportation challenges,” said Gitto.
