Battalions

[edit]

Transportation Motor Transport Battalion

The transportation motor transport battalion is designed to support the movement of personnel and matériel for divisions and corps in an area of operation. It is normally attached to a sustainment brigade and consists of a headquarters and headquarters detachment providing command and control of between three and seven motor transport companies, detachments or teams.[1]

Movement Control Battalion

The movement control battalion is charged with regulating all movement within its area of operation, including along the main supply route (MSR) and alternate supply routes (ASR). Subordinate to the Theater Sustainment Command and/or Expeditionary Sustainment Command, it is a vital component in the planning and execution of deployment, redeployment and distribution operations. The battalion exercises control of between four and ten movement control teams, which are assigned to key areas or transportation nodes.[2]
