Which organization is responsible for coordinating unit movement to APOE/SPOE, enabling orderly assembly and departure?

• A. Unit Movement Control Center (UMCC)
• B. Navy Control Organization (NCO)
• C. MAGTF Deployment and Distribution Operation Center (MDDOC)
• D. Arrival Airfield Control Group (AACG)

Answer: (A)

Coordinating unit movement to the embarkation ports is handled by the Unit Movement Control Center. This organization serves as the central hub for movement planning, sequencing, and execution as units assemble for departure and then depart to the APOE or SPOE. It ensures that units are guided to the right port, assigned to appropriate transport, and loaded in the correct order, maintaining a smooth and orderly flow from assembly through to departure. The other groups have related deployment or arrival responsibilities but do not manage the end-to-end coordination of unit assembly and movement to the designated embarkation ports: the MAGTF Deployment and Distribution Operation Center focuses on broader deployment planning and distribution; the Arrival Airfield Control Group manages terminal airfield operations at the destination; and the Navy Control Organization (or similarly named counterparts) does not align with this specific Marine Corps function.
