In all, elements from 8 of 10 Army divisions will be moving to, or from, Operation Iraqi Freedom, in Iraq, and Operation Enduring Freedom, in Afghanistan. Large movements of Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps equipment are planned as well.
The move is a "daunting" challenge, said Maj. Gen. Ann Dunwoody, commander, SDDC.
"We have to synchronize deploying and redeploying units," Dunwoody told a luncheon meeting of the Washington Chapter of the National Defense Transportation Association, on Jan. 15.
"We have our work cut out for us. We know where the challenges lie. We have the people to do the job."
Dunwoody stressed the importance of industry partners and their knowledge and contacts would assist meeting military mission requirements.
"Our focus is to support the men and women still deployed ? still in harm's way. That's our number one priority."
The surface requirements, may involve as many as 300 vessel movements, said Brig. Gen. Mark Scheid, director of operations/deputy cmmanding general, SDDC.
The equipment moves will be one-third larger than the original Operation Iraqi Freedom deployment, Scheid told a meeting of American Flag liner executives Dec. 11 at SDDC Headquarters, in Alexandria, Va.
"There is an awful lot of movement in the next seven months," said Scheid.
Scheid said military and industry synchronization of the movements is critical.
Unit equipment will primarily move through Military Sealift Command charter ships. Approximately 16,000 containers will move by American Flag liner service vessels.
The goal, Scheid added, is to "load to the maximum."
Industry representatives were highly supportive of SDDC's mission.
Scheid asked for industry suggestions to enhance SDDC's moves.
Several shipping executives suggested use of additional ports to increase berth capacities.
"We are working on that," said Scheid.
Warfighting commands submit their requirements and USTRANSCOM directs multimodal transportation support executed by its component commands: Air Mobility Command, Military Sealift Command and the SDDC.
