Synchronizing Global Distribution Planning

摘要

In January 2014, the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy signed the DOD Global Campaign Plan for Distribution (GCP-D) 9033. USTRANSCOM is now able to accomplish its Unified Command Plan (UCP) mission to synchronize distribution planning in order to establish an effective and efficient Global Distribution Network (GDN), and ensure distribution support to the greater Department of Defense (DOD) mission. Many ask the question, "What does it mean to "synchronize" the planning process...and why is it important?" Additionally, "How should USTRANSCOM execute its synchronizer role? Who benefits from this synchronized planning process and what benefit is gained from participating in the process?" In the following paragraphs, I will address each of these questions and describe how GCP-D 9033 will accomplish its annual mission to systematically improve and synchronize distribution planning.
