Introduction
only determine the urgency of the cargo but also coordinate the method of
delivery.

When assigning a local delivery to cargo shipments, use these a standard delivery
Assigning a local
times:
delivery to cargo
shipments
999, highest priority of cargo/on-mission capable supply (NMCS), air lines of
communication (ALOC)-- 24-hour delivery standard to include weekends.
TP 1-- 3-day delivery time standard, normal duty days.
TP 2-- 4-day delivery time standard, normal duty days.
TP 3--11-day delivery time standard, includes weekends and holidays.
__________________________________________________________________
When assigning a local delivery time remember that delivery time standards
Assigning a local
equate to the RDD. To assign a local delivery to cargo shipments, add the
delivery time
delivery time standard (based on the TP) to the Julian date and processing time.
For example, a commitment based on TP 1 to be received before 0900 hours on a
Monday, is assigned three days (delivery time standard) plus one day for
processing. Therefore, the local delivery date for the shipment is the Julian date
plus four days.

TAMCA military
MCT in determining which cargo should be shipped first. For example, class V,
highway support
ammo, will go before ALOC cargo. This is the priority listing according to
priorities
TAMCA's military high support priorities:
1. Ordnance.
2. Mail.
3. NMCS/999.
4. ALOC.
