tions. For example, a single modular MCT can be deployed initially to provide movement control functions at an airfield while simultaneously providing cargo documentation. As the mission expands, the team can deploy a section onto the main supply routes (MSRs) to conduct MRT operations. As the operation matures, that same MCT can operate at a second airfield or seaport. The operational use of the MCT can be specifically tailored to the mission and operational environment. The standardization of MCTs increases the number of teams available for deployment, since each unit is modular in the truest sense of that term.
