Route Synchronization Plan Flashcards
What are the two basic types of movements
Planned and immediate
What are the two types of convoy control
Organizational and area
Why do we need Highway regulation route synchronization plans
Provides order prevents congestion and forces movement priorities
What is the difference between a planned and immediate move
Requirements of planned moves are identified in advanced immediate movies are based on requirements generated during the conduct of operations
What are the two components of convoy control
Organizational and area
Who is responsible for organizational control
Unit making the move
Who is responsible for area control at the Brigade rear area
The brigade S4
Where do you gather information for synchronization route plan
OPLANS, OPORDS, recons and overlays, and traffic density info
What are the rules for naming MSRs
Within the theme set never colors numbers or phonetic words or profanity
Give five examples of what critical points are
Facilities, terminals, ports, railheads, Bridges, tunnels, congested highways, cargo transfer points
This is the least restrictive control measure any unit may use the route without a movement credit minimum control is exercised
Open Route
Which type of rock control measure closes the route to traffic
Prohibited route
What routes have scheduled move likely to require a movement credit
Supervised dispatch and reserve
Why do we establish checkpoints
To regulate and control movements
What is a CSC
A location that provides in route fuel mess, maintenance, and billeting support
Name the five control measures
Open route. Supervised route. Dispatch route. Reserved route. Prohibited route.
What are the four routing principles
Balance, separation, distribution and prioritization
What are infiltration rules
A type of convoy organization with no defined structure. Vehicle intervals and speeds will vary
What is Balance
Matching vehicle characteristics with route characteristics
What is route scheduling
Process of coordinating times for Road and Highway movements
What is the location method of route scheduling
Assigns arrive and clear times two different units needing to use the same entry point onto MSRs
What are four basic times that a movement bid must be submitted
When specified in the route synchronization plan
Any time the convoy is going to cross movement control borders
Large unit movements
Normally on any route not designated as open
