Movement, Transportation, and Distribution is a LogTool-produced PowerPoint job aid, built with clickable hyperlinks, that walks users through the process for submitting movement, transportation, and distribution requests — covering both Transportation of Things (TOT) and Transportation of People (TOP) — in the Marine Corps and Joint Forces environment. It is an internal navigation aid to official processes, not a standalone system or a source of policy in its own right.
What it is
A single hyperlinked slide deck that orients a logistician to the request pathways for moving materiel (TOT) and personnel (TOP) within Marine Corps and Joint transportation processes. It functions as a quick-reference map pointing toward the systems, forms, and offices a requester would actually use — it does not itself process or track requests.
Source & authority
This is LogTool self-published content, not an official DoD or Marine Corps system. The authoritative governing references for Marine Corps/Joint transportation and distribution requests are the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR 4500.9-R), published by U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), and Marine Corps doctrine on transportation operations. LogTool's job aid should be treated as a orientation tool only; requesters should confirm current procedures against those primary sources.
Access
Publicly viewable on logtool.com as a downloadable/embedded PowerPoint. No account, CAC, or request process is required to view the job aid itself.
How logisticians use it
Marine Corps and Joint logisticians unfamiliar with the TOT/TOP request process use this as a starting point — a visual map of who to contact and what process to follow — before turning to the DTR or command-specific transportation SOPs for the authoritative procedure.
Related systems
Related governing references include the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR 4500.9-R, USTRANSCOM) and Marine Corps transportation/distribution doctrine covering movement control and MAGTF distribution operations. LogTool separately maintains a reference page for the Transportation Control and Movement Document (TCMD), which governs the actual shipping document used for cargo movement requests.
