What do MC HQs specify in a supervised route?

• A. Guard requirements and permissible weapons
• B. Schedule of rest stops and meal breaks
• C. Size of convoys, type of traffic, or characteristics
• D. Route coding and color designation

Answer: (C)

On a supervised route, the headquarters sets the convoy parameters that drive how traffic moves: the size of each convoy, the type of traffic allowed (which vehicle types or escorts, for example), and other characteristics that affect flow and safety. This framing lets control points anticipate demand, allocate road space, and enforce rules consistently. Guard details, rest-stop timing, or route labeling are separate considerations and don’t define the convoy’s operational makeup in the same way.
