Developing a Situation Awareness Environment for the Distribution Process Owner

<p>On September 16 2003 the Secretary of Defense designated the Commander USTRANSCOM as the Distribution Process Owner (DPO) charged with the responsibility to coordinate and synchronize execution of the DOD distribution system. Additionally on 28 July 2004 USTRANSCOM was given the responsibility for managing the Information Technology (IT) Portfolio associated with its DPO mission. Executing its new role as Distribution Portfolio Manager (DPfM) USTRANSCOM acted upon a requirement from the November 2005 Council of Logistics Directors Conference and moved forward with the DOD logistics community and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to provide a Common Operating Picture (COP) for Deployment and Distribution (D2). During the fall of 2007 and spring 2008 DISA fielded an initial operating capability for COP D2 on its unclassified and classified Global Combat Support System-Joint (GCSS-J) web portals.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
