For instance, days of supply fuel and fuelers should precede equipment. Maintenance personnel and operators should move with their equipment so the equipment can be downloaded and put into use off of the platform. J-8. Movement of personnel is usually by air and of short duration. Move personnel with required equipment such as tentage, communications equipment, personal weapons, basic load of ammunition, minimal required vehicles, days of supply fuel, material handling equipment, and rations. Movement with required equipment expedites the initial setup and conduct of initial operations. J-9. Movement of follow-on equipment is conducted by sealift and can be fort to port or port to port. Theater provided equipment (TPE) can be issued at the port of debarkation or at the first station in theater. Units falling in on equipment, front load accountability personnel, maintenance personnel, and operators to ensure the equipment is combat ready when the main body arrives. J-10. Units must account for equipment and personnel during movement. In-transit visibility is the ability to track the identity, status, and location of Department of Defense units, and non-unit cargo (excluding bulk petroleum, oils, and lubricants) and passengers; patients; and personal property from origin to consignee or destination across the range of military operations. Also called ITV (JP 4-01.2). Commanders, whose employment planning depends on the closure of forces, base their decisions on accurate and reliable ITV. ATP 3-35 annex K describes proper utilization of automatic identification technology along with placement of automatic identification technology interrogators and other readers, military shipping labels, and radio frequency identification tags to enable movement managers to maintain ITV and the ITV common operational picture (COP). JOINT RECEPTION, STAGING, ONWARD MOVEMENT, AND INTEGRATION J-11. Joint reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (JRSOI) is the process that delivers combat power to the joint force commander in the operational theater. If pre-deployment tasks and movement are conducted properly, the flow of JRSOI can be streamlined, delivering personnel and equipment expeditiously to the fight. The sustainment command plans and enables theater opening and JRSOI (see ATP 3-35 for more information). JRSOI is simply reception, staging, onward movement, and integration conducted jointly, as described below: Reception—unloading personnel and equipment from strategic transportation assets; managing port marshalling areas; transporting personnel, equipment, and materiel to staging areas; and providing logistics support services to units transiting the ports of debarkation. Staging—organizing personnel, equipment, and basic loads into movement units; preparing the units for onward movement; and providing logistics support for units transiting the staging area. Onward movement—moving units from reception facilities and staging areas to the tactical assembly area or other theater destinations; moving non-unit personnel to gaining commands; and moving sustainment supplies to distribution sites. Integration—during integration, combat-ready units transfer to the operational commander and merge into the tactical plan. The time required for integration may vary, depending upon the size of the total force, contingency conditions, and amount of pre-deployment and ongoing planning and coordination. Rapid integration, however, is critical to the success of combat operations, and adequate planning and coordination can reduce integration time. Integration is the gaining unit's function. J-12. JRSOI can be conducted geographically either directly into an operational area (for example in the rear or as part of an insertion) but is most often conducted in intermediate stages using intermediate staging bases to facilitate the convergence of units, personnel, equipment, and materiel securely and effectively. Units must be fully prepared to fall into the sequence of movement developed through the TPFDD to an intermediate staging base; support arming, fueling, and fixing of equipment; and finally, conduct movement to the operational area.
