Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan convoy movement
   • Instructions to undertake movement by road convoy are received and interpreted
   • Route reconnaissance is conducted to inform the planning
   • Replenishment and staging requirements are identified
   • Logistic information systems are utilised to monitor and coordinate operation and to inform the decision making process
   • Operational or organisational constraints are recognised and tasks are planned to align with these constraints
   • Plan for the road convoy movement is developed and distributed
   • Occupational health and safety (OH&S) requirements and recognised safety precautions are applied throughout the operation in accordance with standard procedures
2. Lead the movement of a convoy
   • Deployment instructions are prepared and issued to personnel to inform them of the method and sequence of the road convoy
   • Vehicle discipline is enforced to ensure all vehicle speed, movement and behaviour is in accordance with the convoy plan and organisational policy and procedure
   • Halts are coordinated during the road movement in accordance with the convoy plan and organisational policy and procedure
   • Replenishment and staging is undertaken in accordance with the convoy plan
   • Convoy protection, when needed, is ensured during the operation
   • Fatigue management strategies are applied to ensure vehicles are operated by rested and alert drivers
   • Liaison with agencies involved in the operation is carried out to ensure the most effective coordination of effort
   • Management and stakeholders are advised when significant issues or developments arise that may adversely impact on the operation
