- Continuously refine plans during execution to respond to changing operational requirements, delivery timelines, and network disruptions.
- Conduct feasibility assessments of transportation options, including internal fleet, common-user transportation, third-party logistics providers, and strategic lift resources.
- Identify movement constraints such as staging limitations, asset shortfalls, infrastructure bottlenecks, hazardous conditions, or bed down restrictions, and recommend mitigation actions.
- Use planning, modeling, simulation, and data analysis tools to optimize routing, throughput, and delivery sequencing.
- Support in-transit visibility by tracking personnel, cargo, and equipment throughout the transportation network and resolving delays or exceptions.
- Balance competing demands for distribution assets and develop deconfliction strategies aligned to operational priorities.
- Coordinate with planners, operations teams, and stakeholders to validate movement requirements, schedules, and execution data.
- Ensure timely delivery of logistics support to meet required delivery dates and service-level expectations.
