In the Movement Program, which step comes first?

• A. Step 1: Assess the distribution pattern
• B. Step 2: Determine requirements
• C. Step 9: Format and publish the program
• D. Step 8: Coordinate the program

Answer: (A)

The first move in planning a Movement Program is to assess the distribution pattern. Understanding how resources are currently moved, where they’re reaching, and where gaps or bottlenecks exist provides the factual basis for every later decision. Once you know the distribution pattern, you can accurately determine what is required, then format and publish the plan, and finally coordinate its execution. Without this initial assessment, subsequent steps would be built on incomplete or incorrect assumptions, making the whole deployment less effective.
