Q

How is the beret properly worn?

A

The beret is worn so that the headband (edge binding) is straight across the forehead, 1inch above the eyebrows. The flash is positioned over the left eye, and the excess material is draped over to the right ear, extending to at least the top of the ear, and no lower than the middle of the ear. Personnel will cut off the ends of the adjusting ribbon and secure the ribbon knot inside the edge binding at the back of the beret. When worn properly, the beret is formed to the shape of the head; therefore, soldiers may not wear hairstyles that cause distortion of the beret.

Q

Who are the key personnel/teams and functions/locations?

A

a. Convoy Commander (CC): The single leader charged with responsibility for the planning, preparation, and execution of a convoy. The CC will normally position himself well forward in the main body but is free to travel or move to any location that will enhance his ability to command and control the convoy.

b. Assistant Convoy Commander (ACC): Second in command and charged with the responsibility for logistical support of the convoy during preparation and execution. In coordination with the CC, the ACC will ensure that all classes of supply are planned for and issued, that maintenance of vehicles, communications, weapons, and other key equipment is conducted, and that medical preparations to treat and evacuate casualties are accomplished. During convoy execution, the ACC will be in charge of the rear element monitoring rear security and over-watching the trail elements of the convoy. He will assist the CC in controlling the rear gun truck if one is assigned. He will direct casualty treatment and evacuation teams and will supervise recovery operations.

c. Lead Vehicle Commander (LVC): The LVC is responsible for navigation, speed and interval of the convoy based on the guidance in the convoy brief and the situation on the ground. He should be an experienced leader who is familiar with the route. He will be in charge of the forward element monitoring forward security. He will assist the CC in controlling the lead gun truck if one is assigned.

d. Combat Life Savers (CLS) / Medics: The Combat Life Savers / Medics are responsible for rendering medical treatment and supervising evacuation of casualties. If possible, multiple CLSs should be assigned dispersing assets throughout the convoy and assigning them responsibility for designated vehicles in order to speed medical attention. If limited, CLS assets should always be positioned in the rear of the formation in order to better support the contacts anywhere in the convoy.

e. Aid and Litter (A&L) Team: The Aid and Litter Teams of two Soldiers each are responsible for providing buddy aid, preparation of casualties for movement, and/or evacuation under supervision of the CLS. If possible, multiple teams should be assigned, dispersing assets throughout the convoy and assigning them responsibility for designated vehicles in order to speed medical assistance. If limited, teams should always be positioned in the rear of the formation in order to better support the CLS. CLS personnel should not be assigned to an aid and litter team; they should focus on treatment.

f. Landing Zone (LZ) Team: The LZ team is responsible for selecting, securing, clearing, establishing and marking the LZ site. If possible, assign an alternate team as well.

g. Recovery Team: One or more vehicles should be designated to assist with maintenance and recovery along the route. Ideally, a wheeled maintenance and recovery vehicle with maintenance personnel as driver/TC will be used. If that is not possible, the vehicle should be capable of towing any vehicle in the convoy and be equipped with chains, tow cables and tools that may be required to provide minor repairs and recovery. The personnel assigned to this vehicle will practice hasty recovery prior to SP. This vehicle is normally the next-to-last vehicle in the convoy if there is a rear gun truck. If it is the last vehicle, it must have a rear guard with an automatic weapon to provide protection to the rear of the convoy.

  1. Convoy Organization / Order of March. Convoys are generally organized in three elements: the lead, main body, and trail. The lead element consists of the lead gun truck (if available) and the LVC. The main body consists of the majority of the vehicles in the convoy with the CC traveling well forward in this element. Vehicles carrying petroleum and/or ammunition should be separated throughout this element. Heavier and slower vehicles should be forward in the main body to assist in gauging/maintaining convoy speeds. For large convoys, multiple CLS/Aid and Litter Teams and additional gun trucks should be dispersed throughout the main body. The trail element consists of one CLS, one Aid and Litter Team, the Recovery Team, the ACC, and the rear gun truck. See below picture as an example for truck assignments and dispersion.
