TASK Establish a primary Main Supply Route
(MSR) and determine possible TTP and CSC
requirements
CONDITION Given a class room enviroment with
a 1250,000 map board determine primary MSRs
and determine type and placement of appropriate
CSC locations.
STANDARD Upon completion each individual will
have a working knowledge of the difficulties,
and restrictions involved in determining a MSR
and adequate Support Center requirements.

MAP RECON
Maps provide a basic source of terrain
information. The reliability of a map is
determined by the data used to prepare it. Maps
are supplemented by aerial or ground photos,
sketches, and visual observation. Special maps
and overlays are designed for specific purposes,
such as trafficability, transportation
facilities, and soils, and are of particular
value in terrain evaluation.

HIGHWAY TRAFFIC PRINCIPLES

• ASSIGN PRIORITY BASED ON TIME-DISTANCE
• CONSIDER SUSTAINMENT CAPABILITY OF THE MSR
• SEPARATE TRAFFIC FROM PEDESTRIANS
• SEPARATE CIVILIAN AND MILITARY TRAFFIC

12
MAIN SUPPLY ROUTE CRITERIA AND SELECTION

• CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING TRAFFIC VOLUME
• NORMALLY BEST ROUTE
• MUST INCLUDE ALTERNATES
• RECOMMENDED MOVEMENT PLANNER
• APPROVED BY G - 3

• MSR SELECTION CRITERIA IS BASED ON
• ROAD CHARACTERISTICS
• VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS
• SUPPLY CLASSIFICATION
• DELIVERY TIME-LINE AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

13
RECON FACTORS IN SELECTION OF MSRS
14
MSR PROBLEM AREAS

• ESTABLISH CHECKPOINTS
• GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES
• TERMINALS/SUPPLY POINTS/CRITICAL POINTS
• REGULATE AND CONTROL MOVEMENT
• SEGMENT THE MSR INTO MANAGEABLE BLOCKS

• DETERMINE CRITICAL POINTS
• LIMITING ROADWAY STRUCTURES/CHARACTERISTICS
• CROSSROADS AT GRADE LEVEL

15
SPECIFICS

• ROAD SURFACE AND TYPE
• ROAD/BRIDGE MLC 100 MINIMUM
• OVERHEAD CLEARANCES (i.e. WIRES, TREES, TUNNELS
  , OVERPASSES, etc.)
• SUPPLY CLASS AND DELIVERY SCHEDULE
• POPULATION AND CIVILIAN TRAFFIC
• ROAD GRADE AND CURVATURE
• CHOKE POINTS/BOTTLE NECKS
• DISTANCE/TIME/SECURITY
• ESCORT AVAILABILITY
• OVERSIZED VEHICLE FUEL TANK CAPABILITY 250
  GALLONS VS. MILES PER GALLON
• ROM/RON REQUIREMENTS BASED ON ABOVE

16
MSR DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT

• NAME MSRs
• DETERMINE CRITICAL POINTS
• ESTIMATE CHECKPOINT TO SEGMENT
• ESTABLISH CONTROL MEASURES
• DEVELOP TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PLAN
• STAFF AND COORDINATE

• ROUTES ENGINEERING, RECON OR CLASSIFICATION
• TRAFFIC DENSITY TOE, TASK ORGANIZATION
• TERMINALS AND FACILITIES GUIDES, LOG ANNEX
• COMMO OPLANS, ORDERS, ESTIMATES
• WEATHER STAFF OFFICERS
• INTELLIGENCE INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
• CONCEPT OF OPERATION OPLANS AND ORDERS

CONVOY SUPPORT CENTERS
LEVEL 0 REST STOP ONLY NO SERVICE OR SUPPORT
LEVEL 2 LATRINES, WATER, SECURITY, REFUEL,
MAINTENANCE, LIMITED RECOVERY, PARKING
GUIDELINES REST STOP EVERY TWO HOURS
ENROUTE REFUEL AT MIDDLE OF VEHICLE
RANGE RON AFTER 14 HOUR WORKDAY FOOD SERVICE
BASED ON TOTAL TIME ENROUTE (MRE, SOUP,
T-RATIONS)
LEVEL 3 LATRINES, WATER, SECURITY, REFUEL,
MAINTENANCE, RECOVERY, PARKING, SHOWERS, BEDS,
LEVEL 1 LATRINES, WATER, SECURITY, EMERGENCY
FUEL, SMALL REPAIRS
18
CONVOY SUPPORT CENTER LOCATION CRITERIA

• PRIMARY ISSUES
• PARKING AVAILABILITY / SURFACE
• ACCESSIBILITY FROM MSR
• LSA
• HAZARDOUS WASTE REQUIREMENTS
• ROM CAPACITIES i.e. 4PT, 6PT, 8PT
• LOCATION i.e WHERE AND WHY
• TIME / DISTANCE OF MSR DETERMINES CSC LEVEL

• SECONDARY ISSUES
• HOST NATION RESTRICTIONS
• CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS
• LIGHTING
• HEATING
