a. Summary. MOS 3102, Traffic Management Officer (TMO), is a unique MOS which encompasses broad responsibilities for the transportation of supplies/equipment, personnel/units, and personnel property and deployment storage of personal effects. TMOs use numerous Federal, DoD, and service regulations; the Defense Transportation System (DTS); commercial modes of transportation; and distribution logistic functions to enable optimal selection and procurement of commercial government-operated land, air, and water transportation services. They make daily physical distribution management decisions regarding travel/transportation entitlements for military members and dependents.

TMOs are responsible for various procurement actions, financial documentation and payment processes for transportation services. TMOs within the FSSGs perform logistics movement control center functions and container control operations.
