Joint Logistics Over the Shore (JLOTS)

Joint Logistics Over the Shore (JLOTS) refers to the coordinated effort of military forces to transfer cargo and supplies from ships directly to the shore without traditional port facilities. This operation is crucial for conducting amphibious missions and humanitarian assistance in areas where infrastructure is limited or damaged. JLOTS uses specialized equipment and techniques to ensure efficient unloading and distribution of goods, supporting operational readiness and improving response times during military or disaster relief operations. It emphasizes collaboration among various branches of the military and often involves advanced technologies.
