&moreInfo=SFC Smith of the 4321 Transportation Company has been assigned as a convoy commander. This convoy is scheduled to deliver supplies from the corps logistics support area (LSA) over an approximately 50 mile route to Camp Bugle. SFC Smith received the mission briefing from his unit operations center and started preparing for the mission. This will be a very long convoy route during the heat of the day and over a very dusty, mostly unpaved, road network.
SFC Smith has been briefed on possible enemy action along the route. Enemy actions have consisted on sniper attacks, roadside explosives, and occasional ambushes by less than squad-sized forces.
SFC Smith determined that this platoon had enough vehicles of the right type to complete the mission, and later assembled the non-commissioned officers who would be in charge of each march unit. Although his drivers were well-trained, experienced, and had completed similar convoys several times, he knew that he needed to routinely brief key items from the movement order and the unit SOP. Movement schedules, local traffic laws, vehicle interval and speed, speed limits and traffic rules were items that the march unit commanders had to constantly enforce and supervise to prevent delays and ensure safe operations. He also knew that new unit members would benefit from being told how the convoy must operate and their individual discipline while observing speed limits and protective measures would help minimize casualties in the event of enemy contact or incidents. Gaps between march units would help avoid halts in congested areas and at critical points along the route.
SFC Smith conducted his march unit commander briefing in sufficient time to allow each march unit commander to pass important information on to all the drivers. The convoy would have minimum contact with the civilian populace since the convoy route did not pass through any built-up areas or cities.
The convoy was subsequently able to complete its mission without incident.&
