Review

52. On Review Question 1: How does the UMO determine
the various transit areas in theater that the unit
will use during redeployment?
Answer 1: The JFC or ASCC/ARFOR redeployment operations plan or order identifies transit areas. Specific redeploying unit areas are normally identified in the unit’s higher hqs movement plans and orders

53. On
Review
Question 2: When arriving at the redeployment POE marshaling area, the redeploying unit should provide liaison officers to what organizations?
Answer 2: The unit sends liaison personnel to POE operations area for coordination with port operations staff, DACG, and the PSA, and to equipment turn-in sites (as required).

54. On Review Question 3: In what redeployment phase
does the installation have primary responsibility
for providing support to units that are redeploying
to home station?
Answer 3: During Ph IV, (RSO&I), supporting
installations normally have responsibility for supporting unit arrival at POD, and onward movement to destination.

55. On Review QUESTION 4: After the redeploying unit
arrives at home station, what are UMO
