TERMS
Installation transportation officer (ITO)-This manual, when referring to the "installation transportation officer" or ITO,
pinpoints the individual on the installation commander's staff who is responsible for transportation functions, regardless of
his title. He may be a transportation corps officer, or a qualified civilian. At some activities he may be designated as
"traffic manager," "chief, movements division," "chief, transportation division," or some similar title, rather than the
transportation officer.
Military impedimenta (MI)- For purposes of this manual, MI is defined as that equipment owned or controlled by a unit
(table of organization and equipment, or TOE). It does not include personal baggage, and moves simultaneously (or in
conjunction) with troops. MI consists of material such as housekeeping equipment, spare parts, tools, vehicles, weapons,
and records. MI is normally in the possession of a unit at all times, except when it is in transit between stations.

configuration. This will usually be provided by printout from Forces Command (FORSCOM) Computerized Movement
Planning And Status System (COMPASS).
