Which item is NOT listed as an authorization of the movement program?

• A. Commit transportation assets
• B. MCT to issue TMRs
• C. Directs mode operators to furnish assets
• D. Allocates fuel and maintenance for convoys

Answer: (D)

The movement program’s authorization focuses on who can authorize and arrange the actual movement. Committing transportation assets is a direct authorization to pull resources into motion. Having the Movement Control Team issue Transportation Movement Requests formalizes the orders needed to move. Directing mode operators to furnish assets assigns responsibility for obtaining the necessary assets from each mode. Allocating fuel and maintenance for convoys, while essential for keeping movement possible, is a sustainment function that supports movement rather than authorizes it. Therefore, that last item does not belong to the movement program’s authorization.
