Combined Arms Training Strategies (CATS)

Combined Arms Training Strategy

CATS are the Army's overarching strategy for focusing on near term unit training or on identifying future unit training strategies and requirements. The CATS is a flexible system that supports comanders in designing their training programs by providing them with a menu of training tasks, events and resources to plan and manage training.

Access all units' CATS data at the Army Training Network (ATN)

Listed below are CATS that support the BSB elements.

  • HHC/HHD
  • Distro CO
  • Med CO
  • FMC
  • FSC

The authoritative source for accessing CATS is through the Digital Training Management System (DTMS). Because DTMS users must have approval for access, DTMS CATS data can also be pulled by the Army Training Network (ATN).

*NOTE: If you aren't able to find your units' CATS on ATN or DTMS, please contact us and we can provide the most recent Unit Task List (UTL) to assist you.

ICODES incorporates intelligent tools for staging, conveyance load-planning and multi-modal planning designed and implemented in compliance with the principles of a service-oriented architecture and operating within a collaborative environment. ICODES enables users to plan and track cargo stowage for air, ocean, rail, and truck in a single system that affords the capability of one time entry of the data. It enables the joint community to easily create exchange and interpret cargo movement plans through a single software application. Other features assist users by providing high quality alternative solutions to complex load planning problems. ICODES integrates multiple knowledge-based expert systems, data storage, and a graphical user interface within a distributed and collaborative operational environment providing global services to the operating forces.


Integrated Mission Support for Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (ISDDC):

ISDDC is an integrated environment that is a collection of data acquisition and business intelligence reporting applications developed to provide centralized, standardized information access solutions for the Command and its customers. These applications manage the collection and integration of disparate data sources into a single repository using SDDC defined business rules. Using these applications, DoD end users can gain a composite view of SDDC transportation operations without having to go to more than one source. This application provides a set of web-based reporting tools for use by all qualified users, thereby fostering a better understanding within the shipper, transporter, planner and management communities. Query Reporting Tools are provided to allow the end user to design customized tabular summary or detail reports by choosing columns, filter criteria, and sort order. On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) reporting tools allow the user to browse through data from multiple perspectives, conducting analysis on-demand. DoD transportation program areas currently supported include:

  • FREIGHT: Freight reporting tools allow the user to report on all DoD freight shipments moving by air, truck, rail, pipeline, or barge, with the exception of express shipments. The data source for this information is the Global Freight Management (GFM) Unidata system which stores shipment related data from the GFM operational systems, the Air Force Cargo Movement Operations System (CMOS), and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Distribution Standard System (DSS) as it is received and/or processed by SDDC. Detailed information about freight shipments picked up on or after fiscal year 2002 is accessible through these tools for generating a variety of summary and detail reports.

  • OCEAN CARGO: Ocean Cargo reporting tools are provided for users to generate a variety of reports about DoD ocean cargo shipments transported into our out of the USCENTCOM AOR. Data about these shipments is received from a variety of sources including the Worldwide Port System (WPS) and the Integrated Booking System (IBS). Detailed information about ocean cargo shipments departing from the Port of Embarkation (POE) on or after fiscal year 2002 can be accessed and reported on using these reporting tools.

Notional Theater of Operations Diagrams

Theater of Operations - Contiguous

Notional Theater of Operations - Contiguous, Non-Linear

Click Here for a diagram of the Contiguous, Non-Linear Notional Theater of Operations.

In contiguous operations, each commander directs and sustains combat power toward enemy forces in concert with adjacent units. These operations are linear and are the conduct of operations with identified forward lines of own troops (FLOTs). In these operations, emphasis is placed on maintaining the position of friendly forces in relation to other friendly forces. From this relative positioning of forces security is enhanced and massing of forces can be facilitated.  Contiguous operations are normally depicted by sustained offensive and defensive operations against powerful, echeloned, and symmetrically organized enemy forces.  Units are arrayed in echeloned formations in a linear fashion where unit boundaries are adjoined with no gaps or uncontrolled space between unit formations. This creates a contiguous area and a continuous forward line of troops that focuses combat power on the enemy and protects sustainment functions operating behind the forward line of troops. 

In the graphic depicted the upper half shows how Army forces, to include the sustainment organizations, would be arrayed on a contiguous, linear battlefield.  For clarity, the lower half of the graphic shows the types of sustainment units that would be doctrinally located at each echelon. 

 

Theater of Operations - Contiguous

Notional Theater of Operations - Linear-Contiguous

Click Here for a diagram of the Linear-Contiguous Notional Theater of Operations.

In non-contiguous operations, forces orient on objectives without geographic reference to adjacent forces. This creates nonlinear operations that typically focus on creating specific effects on multiple decisive points. Nonlinear operations emphasize simultaneous operations along multiple line of operation from selected bases.  Non-contiguous operations are normally depicted by sustained offensive and defensive operations against powerful but asymmetrically organized forces that have the capability to attack from multiple directions
simultaneously.  Units are arrayed in separated areas of operations (AO) where the commander assigned the AO has responsibility to control the space occupied by his unit.  The senior Army headquarters or Joint Force Commander retains responsibility for the space between the AOs that is either uncontrolled by or under limited control of subordinate commanders. 

In the graphic depicted the upper half shows how Army forces, to include the sustainment organizations, would be arrayed on a non-contiguous, non-linear battlefield.  For clarity, the lower half of the graphic shows the types of sustainment units that would be doctrinally located at each echelon.

The mission of the BSB is to plan, prepare, rapidly deploy, and execute the uninterrupted flow of
tactical-level logistics and AHS support to the particular type of brigade it supports. The BSB is trained and equipped to support the brigade’s requirements for full spectrum operations which include offense, defense, stability operations, and civil support. The BSB and its subordinate units must be fully prepared to conduct any combination of these primary operations. Each BSB is tailored to support a specific type of brigade. While most types are designed with essentially the same structures and capabilities, the exact capabilities in each vary based on the type of supported brigade.

BSB in CTC Rotations; The BSB for each BCT will be fully instrumented and have complete Observer, Coach/Trainer (OC/T) Coverage. The BSB will remain within the Training Area, aka; “the box” for the entire rotation while supporting the BCT.

Reverse - Collection and Analysis Teams (R-CAATs)

R-CAAT General Info:

The Reverse Collection and Analysis Team (R-CAAT) program pairs CASCOM doctrine and training developers with leaders from redeployed sustainment units to bridge the informational gap between the Generating and Operational forces. Over a two to three-day period, redeployed commanders, accompanied by members of their support staff, describe their observations, insights and lessons (OILs) to the schoolhouse through professional development and directorate roundtable sessions. The staff members of the individual directorates engage the R-CAAT teams in-depth, conducting discussions with the command teams on concepts, training, doctrine, tactics and unit design.

The knowledge gathered through the R-CAAT program has proven invaluable. Below, you will find links to R-CAAT schedules and transcripts.

Operational Logistics Planner (OPLOG Planner)

Access OPLOG Planner 8.0 on AKO by clicking here.

OPLOG Planner

OPLOG Planner 8.0 is designed to assist logistics planners in calculating supply usage estimates in support of operations. This program is specifically designed to support operations typically associated with multi-phase operation plans (OPLAN) and operation orders (OPORD).

In OPLOG Planner, the user creates units based on standard Tables of Organizations and Equipment (TOE) (base, not MTOEs) and maps these units into task organizations. The task organizations can then be assigned to a multi-phase order and assigned user-developed mission parameters sets (which essentially describe the conditions under which the task organization operates). Reports then provide supply consumption by unit, task, organization, phase and order.

Army Leader Development Strategy (ALDS)

 

Leader development is achieved through a career-long synthesis of training, education, and experiences acquired through opportunities in the institutional, operational, and self-development domains to develop the leader attributes (character, presence, and intellect) and competencies (leads, develops, and achieves) outlined in Army Doctrine Publication 6-22, Army Leadership. 

ALDS lays out how to approach that development and grants individual proponents the flexibility to develop a strategy to approach their functional learning areas. Thus, we are developing a logistics leader development strategy that will become the logistics component of ALDS.

Army Logistics University (ALU) and VSU have established a cooperative degree program. The program provides our Soldiers with the opportunity to complete a Bachelors of Science degree in two logistics areas (Hospitality Management and Industrial and Logistics Technology) using ACE credits earned through ALC, SLC, and/or previous college credits.

Per partnership agreement, VSU will streamline the course loads so that our Soldiers can achieve degree requirements at an accelerated pace and prior to a permanent change of station (PCS) from Fort Lee. VSU is in the process of creating Distance Learning (DL) modules for each degree program in an effort to assist Soldier students in completing requirements even if they do PCS and without the need to continually change colleges. Classes will be conducted on the ALU campus with all the training and schooling combined into one transcript that that focuses on the Soldier's military career.

Click Here for more information about the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management.

Click Here for more information about the Bachelor of Science in Information and Logistics Technology.
