1A-4. Other Movement Control Considerations, Continued

Split-based operations are an offspring of the Army's transition from a forward
Split-based
deployed force to one of force projection. This concept establishes processing
operations
centers at theater, corps, and division levels which are tethered to the operational
area. Using split-based operations theater requirements are--
identified and prioritized by the combatant commander,
recorded through data entry, and
sent electronically to information processing centers at power projection
platforms.
Then, these power projection platforms are located at intermediate support bases
(ISBs) or CONUS. The ISBs issue orders and instructions for the movement of
sustaining materiel as identified by the combatant commander.

TAV provides systems and communications technologies for operators and
TAV
logisticians for the essential visibility of Department of Defense (DOD) materiel
assets. This concept uses software to track the location, quantity, and condition of
major end items, reparable, ammunition, and other support items. The goal of
TAV is to effectively integrate and focus management and resource on those key
visibility requirements having the greatest potential to improve operation support
and reduce inventory levels.

ITV is a subset of TAV. It allows the capability of identifying and tracking the
ITV
movement of defense cargo, passengers, medical patients, and personal property
from the point of origin. ITV provides effective logistics support in wartime,
contingencies, and peacetime and allows the management of logistical
information on specific commodities from the cradle to the grave. ITV is a force
multiplier and resource saver crucial to the success of military operations. ITV
uses automated processes to gather and maintain timely and accurate standard
source movement data.
