JLOTS Definition
LOTS is the process of discharging cargo from vessels anchored
offshore or in-the-stream, transporting it to shore or pier and
marshalling it for onward movement.
JLOTS occurs when Army and Navy units conduct LOTS
operations together under a Joint Force Commander.
“Project the Force”

Joint Chiefs of Staff JLOTS Exercise
Sponsorship Message
To ensure JLOTS as a strategic capability, it must be
realistically exercised each year, and the CINC’s, Services,
and JLOTS community must work together to maximize
training and maintain operational excellence.
It is essential that programmed funds are available to ensure
accomplishment of the JLOTS training objectives.
It is critical that JLOTS is exercised regularly to maintain
operational excellence in this important warfighting area.
