Some States restrict convoy stop points at public rest areas if convoys are estimated to consume more than 50 percent of rest area resources (space, parking facilities, etc.). State agencies may require additional support at specific locations to support convoy movements depending on the alternatives.

If you've been in the military for at least a few months, then you know (or at least suspect) that a convoy is more logistically complex than it seems to a casual observer. There are two broad categories of convoy elements: organizational and functional elements. Each consists of several other categories of unit or vehicle types.
Depending on the environment and the mission, convoys travel in one of a few different formations. 1. The open column formation is the most common. Vehicles travel about 100 meters apart at speeds greater than 25mph. This formation is generally used on well-maintained roads with good visibility. 2. The closed column formation is used when visibilit...
Clear, concise communication is essential to effective and (comparatively) safe convoy operations. There are many ways in which military personnel in a convoy communicate with one another, and you'll need to be familiar with all of them. 1. Radio is the primary and preferred method of communication. However, unencrypted radio channels are vulnerabl...
When you're traveling in a military convoy, every obstacle you encounter is a potential danger — at worst, a potential ambush (more about reacting to ambushes in the next section). Take bridges, for instance. Under normal circumstances, a bridge is just a bridge, but in a combat zone, it's an ideal ambush point. You probably have to cross it to rea...
Attacks against convoys fall into one of two very broad categories: near and far ambushes. Each necessitates a different tactical response, but the general principles of surviving an ambush are usually the same. 1. The most immediate goal is to keep the vehicles moving, or if they've been stopped, to get them moving again as quickly as possible. Th...
Protecting sea lines of communication (SLOCs) will be critical for supporting U.S. operations during any war in Europe, but in the 21st century this does not require using convoy operations to the same extent as in the past. The United States and its allies must take a broader look at critical maritime infrastructure and adapt their actions to ...
