What step would you identify the bulk cargo and packing list? In addition, how many number of packing lists are used for military assets?

• A. Step 5: Identify bulk cargo & develop packing list. 5 packing lists if shipped using only military assets.
• B. Step 3: Identify bulk cargo; 3 packing lists
• C. Step 4: Identify bulk cargo; 4 packing lists
• D. Step 6: Identify bulk cargo; 6 packing lists

Answer: (A)

The step to identify bulk cargo and develop the packing list happens at Step 5 in the movement planning sequence. This timing makes sense because you first determine what will be shipped and how it will be packaged, then you create a packing list that accurately reflects the cargo for loading, handling, and accountability. For shipments using only military assets, five packing lists are used. This standard ensures the right copies go to the right parties and that the cargo is tracked properly throughout the movement. The other options place the bulk cargo identification at different steps and propose different counts of packing lists, which don’t align with the established procedure for military-asset shipments.
