Welcome to the Transportation Engineering Agency (TEA)

Our Mission: Improve the global deployability of U.S. Armed Forces by providing the Department of War (DoW) with transportation and transportability engineering, policy guidance, research, and analytical expertise to support the National Military Strategy.

Our Vision: To be an organization with a performance based reputation for excellence in Transportation Engineering built by a committed workforce that inspires trust and confidence by providing best value solutions to the joint warfighter in supporting improved deployment and distribution capabilities.

General Information

  • History

    The Transportation Engineering Agency (TEA) can trace its beginnings back to 1955 when the Office of the Army Chief of Transportation established the Office of the Special Assistant for Transportation Engineering (SATE) in Washington, DC to provide consultant services for existing and proposed Army installations worldwide. Department of War (DoW) Instruction 3224.1, DoW Engineering for Transportability Program, was implemented in 1958, directing the establishment of the DoW Engineering for Transportability Program. This resulted in the formation of the Transportation Engineering Office (TEO) aligned under the US Army Transportation Research and Engineering Command (USATRECOM) in Fort Eustis, VA.

    In 1959, the Army Chief of Transportation authorized the establishment of the Transportability Field Evaluation Center under the TEO. This field support element was co-located at Fort Eustis and Camp Wallace. The U.S. Army later agreed to an exchange of the Camp Wallace property with Anheuser-Busch in return for a larger parcel which is located directly across Skiffe's Creek from Fort Eustis. Camp Wallace then became the southern portion of a well known theme park, Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

    The US Army Transportation Engineering Agency (TEA) was established under the Chief of Transportation in 1962 and in 1966 was transferred to the Military Traffic Management and Terminal Service (MTMTS). Eight years later, MTMTS was re-designated as Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC).

    The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) began official operations in 1987 and MTMC became the Army component command of USTRANSCOM in 1988. MTMC was re-named the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) in 2004. SDDC was re-named the Army Transportation Command (ARTRANS) in 2025. As such, TEA became ARTRANSTEA.

    The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission recommended relocating TEA’s Newport News, VA facility to Scott Air Force Base. In the summer of 2007, TEA moved to Scott AFB, IL. With this move, the Joint Distribution Process Analysis Center (JDPAC) was created in the winter of 2007 as a directorate under USTRANSCOM. JDPAC is comprised of TEA, AMC A9, and a portion of USTRANSCOM J5/4. Its mission is to provide analysis and engineering support to improve the nation's ability to move and sustain the Joint Force and operate the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE).

    Director's Message

    As the premier Department of War deployment engineering and analysis center, ARTRANSTEA employs state-of-the-art computational and analytical tools as well as the most advanced information system technologies to satisfy the Warfighter's total force projection needs. Today's National Military Strategy is built on our ability to rapidly deploy, project and sustain armed forces anywhere in the world. These force projection goals are constantly evolving and becoming ever more demanding. ARTRANSTEA supports these requirements with timely and accurate deployment and surface distribution-related analyses and transportation engineering solutions.

    Our highly motivated team includes civil, mechanical and computer engineers, operations research analysts, transportation specialists, computer specialists, engineering and computer technicians, and a diverse and highly skilled support staff. For us, customer satisfaction is the number one priority.

    We are proud to play a key role in ensuring that our military forces can respond successfully to any requirement anywhere in the world.

    Joint Mobility Closure Estimator (JMCE): JMCE is a USTRANSCOM-developed tool that estimates force closure over time and highlights potential mobility issues. From editable, user-specified inputs including deploying combat forces and available strategic mobility lift assets (air and sea), it quickly evaluates both the feasibility and risk associated with various force employment strategies. Movements are inter-regional and allow multiple origin regions to a single region

    Rapid Course of Action Analysis Tool (RCAT):The Rapid Course of Action (COA) Analysis tool (RCAT) was originally designed and developed by Raytheon/BBN and Roth Cognitive Engineering under the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Cognitive Visualization, Alerting, and Optimization (CVAO) Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Project. The objective was to design, develop, and demonstrate visualization, alerting and optimization technology for USTRANSCOM fusion center planning. The tool allows planners to consider various COAs and make decisions based on identification of movement requirements through validation and movement planning.

    RCAT provides situational awareness and decision support to mission planners through advanced cognitive based visualization technology, providing benefits within three generalized areas:

    • Comprehension: Enhances user comprehension of key strategic transportation operational concepts. With RCAT, functional users without appreciable strategic transportation experience can rapidly develop insight into the impact of controllable variables on transportation performance.
    • Communication: Complements user ability to communicate transportation enterprise performance enablers and constraints. It enables users to rapidly, effectively and collaboratively communicate the merits of different transportation solution options with supported customers.
    • COA Development and Exploration: Initial transportation COA development and exploration. With RCAT, Mission Planners can quickly explore a large number of potential COAs, evaluate candidate COAs individually, and compare multiple COAs on several primary decision factors. This leads to faster, better informed decisions on which COA to advance.

    The RCAT prototype has developed into a tool that is part of the larger Analysis of Mobility Platform (AMP) program that provides modeling and simulation environments for performing transportation analyses and operational decision-support capabilities.

    Air Refueling Model (ARM): ARM is designed to support force structure, acquisition and operational planning studies. Given a scenario with receiver mission information, the model creates refueling requests and then produces efficient and feasible tanker schedules to satisfy those requests.

  • In support of U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), ARTRANSTEA uses the JECD (Joint Equipment Characteristics Database) system for recording, managing, distributing, and validating physical dimensional characteristics data of military equipment items in various shipping configurations. The data supports Army and Joint strategic deployment planning, forming the basis for characteristics within the Army portion of the Joint Planning and Execution System (JOPES) Type Unit Characteristics (TUCHA) reference file. It is maintained by ARTRANSTEA and is used throughout the DoW (Department of War) for movement planning and deployment analysis.

    The JECD contains not only the Army standard equipment characteristic data but also the U.S. Navy (Construction Battalion equipment), U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and some U.S. Air Force, outsize/overweight items of equipment. Data elements include equipment nomenclature and transportation characteristics for varying configurations. Data provided to FORSCOM is used in United States Army Command's Logistics Support Activity's Computerized Optimization Model for Predicting and Analyzing Support Structures (COMPASS) model for deployment equipment validation.

    The JECD is the authoritative source for equipment dimensional data, and is specifically oriented to unit movement transportability/Deployability considerations. It contains dimensional, weight, cube, and airlift certification information for Army Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) end-items, Navy Table of Allowance (TOA) equipment for the Naval Construction Force (NCF), most major end-items in the SB 700-20 (Army Adopted/Other Items Selected for Authorization/List of Reportable Items), U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Corps and several Air Force items.

    Staff, command, and field organizations use the data for standard reference in developing and reporting movement requirements. JECD data is available on the ETA website (ETA account required). In addition, a PDF version (TB 55-46-1) is available for download listed below.
