Which items are covered by a WARNO?

• A. Manifest, Timeline, Destination
• B. Baggage, Personnel, Supplies, Equipment
• C. Convoy Security, Control Vehicles, Rear and Front Security
• D. State Movement Control Center

Answer: (A)

A WARNO focuses on the essential details needed to begin planning and coordinating the upcoming movement. The items that are covered—manifest, timeline, and destination—fit this purpose because they lay out who and what is involved, roughly when things will happen, and where you are headed. The manifest lists the personnel and equipment that will be moving, which is critical for accountability and resource planning right at the outset. The timeline provides a tentative schedule for departure and key actions, giving units a sense of sequencing and coordination needs. The destination identifies where the movement is going, helping to shape routes, support requirements, and mission context.

The other options involve details that typically come later in more detailed plans. Baggage, personnel, supplies, and equipment describe the actual loadout rather than the initial warning information. Convoy security and the presence of control vehicles or rear/front security are more specific security provisions or execution details that aren’t the core content of a WARNO. State Movement Control Center is an organizational element, not an information item that the WARNO itself conveys.
