  vehicles as well as civilian transportation assets mobilized to move supplies,
  equipment, and personnel. For example, during mobilization, civilian
  trucking and bus companies may be organized as militia truck units to
  provide transportation of cargo and personnel within the State or occupied
  territory. The mobility of logistics units must match that of the supported
  force. If the logistics support units fail to achieve this, they may jeopardize
  the overall success of the operation. Traffic management at the operational
  level is the responsibility of the military transportation center (MTC). The
  MTC is subordinate to the OSC chief of logistics and is responsible for
  managing OSC transportation requirements, using military and civilian
  resources.
  MOVEMENT PRINCIPLES
  12-54. The principles of movement apply to all military transportation
  services and remain constant throughout peace and war. Additionally, they
  apply regardless of the planning level. During wartime, civilian personnel,
  transportation assets (including farm animals, vehicles, aircraft, and water
  vessels), and materiel-handling equipment are mobilized to support the war
  effort.
  Centralized Planning and Decentralized Execution
  12-55. Movement control is centralized at the highest level at which
  commanders charged with providing total logistics support and monitoring
  the transportation system and infrastructure can exercise it. This requires a
  focal point for transportation movement planning and resource allocation at
  all levels. That focal point, whether an individual (the resources officer or
  chief of logistics) or unit, must be constantly aware of requirements and
  capabilities. Decentralized execution enhances the flexibility of lower-level
  commanders to meet local requirements and to rapidly reprioritize support.
  Regulated Movement
  12-56. All movement is regulated according to command priorities.
  Movements are not validated, approved, or initiated if any part of the
  transportation system cannot meet the requirement. Regulating
  transportation assets and LOCs is required to prevent congestion, confusion,
  and conflict of movements. Unregulated use of the transportation system can
  severely hamper the movement of critical cargo and personnel supporting the
  operation or the overall strategic campaign. Therefore, traffic in the AOR is
  programmed to provide fluid movement throughout the transportation
  network.
  12-57. The OPFOR employs a system of measures organized and executed for
  the purpose of ensuring convoy and traffic regulation as well as maintaining
  general order in areas where troops are deployed. A traffic control brigade is
  responsible for traffic control and law enforcement at the operational level. It
  is responsible for directing military traffic along convoy routes and ensuring
  that the proper convoy speed and spacing are maintained. The State’s
  Internal Security Forces support movement control through protection of
  supply routes of movement in the State’s homeland and of key transportation
  nodes and centers.
