Which Army Installation Staff position coordinates and processes unit convoy requests?

• A. The DMC (in-state)
• B. UMC (normally located in the ITO office) coordinates and processes convoy requests
• C. The ITO Office Supervisor
• D. The G3 Logistics Officer

Answer: (B)

The main concept here is identifying who handles the day-to-day coordination and processing of unit convoy requests at an Army Installation. The Unit Movement Coordinator, usually located in the Installation Transport Office, is the focal point for convoy requests. This role takes the unit’s convoy details—origin, destination, date and time, mission, number and type of vehicles, required escorts, and any special instructions—then verifies, plans, and allocates the necessary transportation assets. They work through the steps to produce a convoy clearance or order, confirm route viability, coordinate with drivers and security, and ensure compliance with policy and installation procedures. This is the hands-on, transactional role that turns a request into an executable convoy plan and keeps the unit informed.

The DMC in-state handles movement management for intrastate tasks, but the primary point of contact for convoy requests at the installation level is the Unit Movement Coordinator. The ITO Office Supervisor oversees office operations, not the specific processing of every convoy request. The G3 Logistics Officer is responsible for higher-level logistics planning and policy rather than the execution and processing of individual convoy movements.
