• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer: (B)

Movement Control Teams coordinate how cargo and personnel move through a port area. They plan routes, track shipments, coordinate with ships, trucking, and rail, and quickly resolve bottlenecks to keep the flow steady. At a Large Seaport or in a JLOTS operation, a single Movement Control Team is normally assigned to manage the port’s movement. This arrangement provides clear, centralized direction and avoids duplicating efforts. The team is the main point of contact for ship agents, terminal operators, and transportation units, ensuring a consistent movement plan and orderly offload, load, and distribution. Additional MCTs aren’t typically needed unless the operation becomes significantly larger or more complex, in which case augmentation can happen.
