Where are Convoy Clearance Numbers displayed?

• A. On the convoy commander's badge
• B. On each vehicle on both sides/front and back/top of hood of lead and last vehicle
• C. On the transport manifest only
• D. On the secondary vehicle's tire tread

Answer: (B)

Convoy clearance numbers are visual identifiers used to quickly verify permission to move through checkpoints and along the route. The best way to ensure they’re readable from any angle or position is to display them on every vehicle, on both sides, and on the front and back, as well as on the top of the hood of the lead and the last vehicle. This placement makes the numbers visible to inspectors approaching from the front or rear and from the sides, and it guarantees that the lead and tail vehicles are clearly marked for confirmation as the convoy moves.

Putting them on the commander's badge wouldn’t be visible to all vehicles or checkpoints. Relying solely on a transport manifest isn’t practical for immediate, on-the-ground verification and could be lost or unreadable. Stamping or painting them on a tire tread would be unsafe and unreadable from most approaches.
