Previously, this material was contained in four separate manuals: FM 100-17, FM 100-17-3, FM , and FM 100-17-5.

8 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 .

9 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.

10 In addition it was decided to incorporate the material from FM into the final edition resulting in a single comprehensive guide for army Deployment and Redeployment in a joint environment. Other manuals in this series include FM 100-17-1 and FM 100-17-2 and when revised will be consolidated into a single volume and renumbered as FM Joint Publication 3-35 describes the joint process in terms of planning; predeployment; movement; and joint reception, staging, onward movement, and integration. On the other hand the army process is defined by the phases of predeployment; fort to port movement; movement from port of embarkation (POE) to POD; and RSOI.
