UNIT MOVEMENT PLAN - A SAMPLE

This annex provides ideas, data, and samples of many items to be considered in developing the unit movement plan. For instance, Reserve Component (RC) units may have to complete one plan from point of origin to destination, and, another one from mobilization station (MS) to port of embarkation (POE). Active component (AC) units prepare movement plans for deployment to the POE. The plan is written in operation order format (FM 101-5). It becomes an order when required data and specific times are added. A unit may have several plans, each one planning for a specific contingency. The unit plans the move using the movement plan and executes the move under an operation order. The movement plan contains all annexes and appendices. Those not used are marked not applicable (NA) so that later developing planning data may be added to the existing plan. The operation order has specific movement instructions and is dated and signed. The annexes contain information required to support the plan.
