9 Previously, this material was contained in four separate manuals: FM 100-17, FM 100-17-3, FM , and FM 100-17-5. The material has now been merged into FMI 3-35 to eliminate redundancy and to align army Deployment doctrine with joint Deployment doctrine. Chapter 1 presents an overview of force projection and the Deployment process; Chapter 2 spells out activities units engage in prior to being alerted for Deployment ; Chapter 3 outlines the procedures involved in deploying units moving from home station to the port of debarkation (POD); Chapter 4 details the process of reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (RSOI); and Chapter 5 explains Redeployment .

10 The Transportation Coordinator s Automated Information for Movement System (TC-AIMS II) is the army system supporting all deployments and redeployments and replaces the Transportation Coordinator Automated Command and Control Information System (TC-ACCIS). The fielding of TC-AIMS II to army units will continue and the process outlined in Appendix B is the basis for operating and training the system. This manual is being published as an interim edition to let the changes in installation support, theater logistics support, TC-AIMS II, and ARFORGEN solidify.
