Index-1 FM 55-10 PREFACE This publication describes movement control processes and procedures at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. It integrates movement control with mode and terminal operations to describe how movement control activities support reception and onward movement, theater distribution systems, intermodal operations, and contingency operations. The focus is planning the use of available modes of transport to move units, equipment, and supplies through sea and aerial ports of debarkation to their final destination. It also describes transportation request procedures and how transportation resources are managed and controlled. It is a guide for commanders, staffs, and transportation movements control personnel at division, corps, and echelons above corps.
