Which step involves preparing the Unit Movement Plan?

• A. Translate what needs to be moved into transportation terms
• B. Prepare the Unit Movement Plan
• C. Maintain the Movement Plan
• D. Determine how personnel and equipment will be moved to the POEs

Answer: (B)

The key action is drafting the formal plan itself. Preparing the Unit Movement Plan means consolidating all movement requirements into a structured, official document that guides how the unit will move, including tasks, timelines, routes, and coordination with supporting elements. This planning output comes after you’ve translated requirements into transportation terms, so those details feed the plan rather than being the plan itself. Once the plan is created, it can be issued and later maintained as execution proceeds. Routing personnel and equipment to embarkation points is part of the content you include in the plan, not the act of producing the plan.
