Plan and conduct road convoy

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan and coordinate road convoy movement in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

The application of this unit in the workplace includes receiving instructions to undertake road convoy movement, planning all aspects of the movement, and coordinating vehicle movement and personnel, in accordance with operating environment plan and requirements.

This role requires management and leadership skills.

Road convoy movement may be conducted across any terrain comprised of vehicles integral to logistics capabilities from different disciplines including road transport, supply, maintenance, catering or health.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
