How many MCT are assigned at SPOE/D (seaport of embarkation/debarkation)?

• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer: (B)

Movement Control Teams at seaports of embarkation and debarkation are the central point of control for moving people and equipment through the port. The best practice is to assign a single MCT to the SPOE/D. This team handles planning, sequencing, documentation, and coordination with ships or barges, terminal operators, port authorities, and inland movement assets, ensuring a smooth, continuous flow in and out of the port. One team provides clear, unified direction and reduces confusion that can come from multiple simultaneous control elements. Only in unusually high-throughput situations or when there are multiple separate port corridors would you augment with additional MCTs, but the standard assignment is one.
