What should units be aware of when hearing about a “Convoy or reference convoy”?

When units receive information about a "Convoy or reference convoy," they should understand that this term refers to the movement of multiple vehicles for protection. This is essential in various scenarios, primarily when transporting valuable assets or personnel that may be at risk. A convoy is organized to enhance security, as traveling in numbers significantly improves safety against potential threats.

Such movements are often strategic, involving law enforcement or military vehicles that provide an additional layer of security. Units must be prepared to understand that the presence of a convoy can impact traffic flow and may necessitate coordination with other services to ensure safety for both the convoy and other road users. In scenarios where protection is critical, being aware of convoy operations allows units to act accordingly, managing the environment appropriately and ensuring the convoy's safe journey.

Understanding the dynamics of a convoy can also assist in communication and response strategies amongst units, helping them to offer support or control situations that may arise during such operations.
