Members of the 688th Rapid Port Opening Element (RPOE), 597th Transportation Brigade, from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., participate in a joint exercise called Turbo Distribution 16-2 from March 6 to March 18. The exercise was hosted by U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and involved the 688th RPOE and the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Airlift Wing’s Contingency Response Group (CRG). The exercise was intended to test the ability of the RPOE and 123rd CRG working together in a joint environment to establish the opening of a forward operating base. The specific scenario had the groups establishing a combat build-up environment – much like Operation Desert Shield. Pictured are members of the 688th RPOE positioning two M1120A4 Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HMETT) with the specialized Load Handling System (LHS) - which can take the place of traditional flat bed – after they had deliver their cargo to the forward node storage area.

IVT is the ability to track the identity, status, and location of Department of Defense units, and non-unit cargo (excluding bulk petroleum, oil, and lubricants) and passengers; patients; and personal property from origin to consignee or destination across the range of military operations.
