MCT per 1000 miles applies to which echelons?

• A. DIV/Corps, Theater, and Port
• B. DIV/Corps only
• C. Theater only
• D. Port only

Answer: (A)

MCT per 1000 miles is a planning measure used to estimate deployment time across distance for large forces. Because a full deployment involves several linked steps—from moving the main ground force (division/corps), to coordinating movement across the theater, to handling loading/unloading and throughput at the port—the metric is applied at all three echelons. This integrated use lets planners size timelines and resource needs across the entire deployment chain, not just at a single level.
