Which tasks prompt the Convoy Commander to alert the ACC for time-consuming tasks?

• A. Cross-loading, tow-bars/cables distribution, and vehicle hardening
• B. Fueling, medical checks, and route planning
• C. Communication encryption, armor installation, and night driving
• D. Meal preparation, rest breaks, and paperwork

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that certain convoy tasks take significant time and involve coordinating multiple assets, so the Convoy Commander should alert the ACC to manage the plan, resources, and safety. Cross-loading cargo between vehicles, distributing tow-bars and cables across the convoy, and hardening vehicles are all tasks that require careful, multi-person coordination and extended time to complete. They’re not quick, routine actions; they can slow the convoy’s tempo, affect start times, and introduce safety risks if not done under close oversight. Notifying the ACC helps ensure the right personnel and matériel are available, allows re-sequencing or resourcing, and keeps the operation on a workable timeline. In contrast, the other options include items that are typically planned for and executed within established procedures (fueling, medical checks, route planning, meal prep, rest breaks, and paperwork) or are managed as part of standard convoy tempo and safety practices, and thus don’t inherently require ACC notification for time concerns.
