Does anyone have a unit convoy SOP?

CPT Private RallyPoint Member — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 09:30:59 -0500

My XO and I have taken upon ourselves to develop a unit SOP for convoys. Does anyone have a unit SOP I can reference and use as a guide?

I have a few manuals and convoy check lists but I wanted to see if someone out there has a good SOP established as a frame of reference. Thanks!

Sir, I can check for you when I get home, but I am pretty sure I have one on my laptop from about 2012.

I have our TACSOP from when I ran convoy security in Iraq. Its focused on the combat portion of the mission, not the logistics though. If it would be useful to you, I'd be happy to pass it along.

What type of vehicles and equipment are you moving? Are there security considerations or is this more for a "movement down I-10 to Huachuca" type of convoy?

Just as a supplement to my question, the SOP is for non tactical convoys moving the company to and from training sites throughout the state. Our vics include HMMWVs, LMTVs, FMTVs, & wreckers.

I would have posted this under the tag 88A, not 91A. Those guys are your subject matter experts on convoys. I don't have anything personally but I have a good friend who is a trans officer. If I hear anything I'll pm you.

2LT Elizalde, would you be willing to send me the what others have sent you? I am working on something very similar.

Hi everyone. I am a 2LT who has been asked to be a convoy commander for an upcoming FTX, and our unit does not have any SOP. I don't suppose some of you would be willing to share with me, what you did with the originator? I would appreciate it.

Why not complete the desired SOP yourself without other's input and possibly set the Gold standard? IMHO, you know what you are looking for, and reviewing previous SOP's may only serve to limit your focus and/or contaminate your own product.

PS: You know your product's going to get pen-f***ed as soon as you start running it up the chain, so, in the end, will it really be yours? Just sayin......................................

PPS: Why am I responding to a 6yr old post anyway? BTW; how did your SOP turn out?!!
