What is an APOD?

Aerial Port of Debarkation - airfield designated for sustained air movement of personnel and materials and authorized port entrance/departure from the country

Who manages the APOD?

Air Mobility Command (AMC)

What airfield agencies are present on an APOD?

A/DACG (Arrival/Departure Airfield Control Group) - Ad hoc organization established to control and support the arrival and departure of personnel, equipment, and sustainment cargo at airfields.

CRG (Contingency Response group) - Deployed AMC organization that provides on-site management of airfield operations.

RPOE (Army's Rapid Port Opening Element) - Deploy to facilitate and track the movement of personnel, supplies, and equipment through a designated aerial or seaport.

What is MOG?

Maximum On Ground - Refers to the maximum number of aircraft (A/C) that can be parked on an airfield.

Haul Types

1. Local Hauls: Shorter transportation movements that can occur multiples times a day. Usually intra-zonal movement in a BDE AO. Generally MTVs and LHS.

2. Line Hauls: Longer transportation movements that typically require operating shifts. Frequently inter-zonal, commonly crossing movement control boundaries and AORs. Generally tractor/trailer, HETs, and PLS.

Hauling Methods

1. Direct - single transport mission completed by the same vehicles. Does not involve transfer of supplies or exchange of equipment.

2. Shuttle - single transport mission completed in repeated trips by the same vehicles between two points.

3. Relay - single mission completed in one trip and utilizes multiple vehicles without transferring the load. Involves continuous movement of supplies or troops over successive segments. Done by changing drivers, vehicles, or both for each segment.

4. Hub and Spoke - Physical distribution system in which a major port serves as a central point from which cargo is moved to and from several radiating points to increase transportation efficiencies.
