  14-32. The start point is a point on a route on which marching elements fall under the control of a designated
  march commander. All routes have a designated SP. It is an easily recognizable point on a map and on the
  ground, such as a road junction. It is far enough from the assembly area to allow units to organize and move
  at the prescribed speed and interval when the unit reaches the SP.
  14-33. A release point is a point on a route where marching elements move out of centralized control. Each
  SP has a corresponding RP. It is an easily recognizable point on the map and on the ground. Marching units
  do not stop at their RPs. Instead, as they move through their RPs, either they transition to a follow-on mission
  or a unit guide meets marching units and leads them to assembly areas. For example, a unit conducting a
  route reconnaissance reaching their RP can transition to a screen.
  14-34. Units designate checkpoints along routes to facilitate control over the movement of marching forces.
  The movement overlay identifies critical points along the route where interference with movement might
  occur. Units position TCPs along routes to prevent congestion and confusion. Military police or unit
  personnel may operate TCPs. These Soldiers report to the appropriate area movement control organization
  when each convoy, march column, and march serial arrives at their TCP.
  14-35. There are five route classification designations: open route, supervised route, dispatch route,
  prohibited route, and reserved route. Each route’s designation varies based on the mission variables. See table
  14-1.
