| 释义 |
The 53rd Transportation Battalion (Movement Control) is assigned to the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) at Fort Eustis, Virginia. The structure of the battalion has shifted over time with the deployment of units and the restructuring of the 7th TB(X). Today the Battalion includes the Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment (HHD), six Movement Control Teams (70th, 99th, 271st, 384th, 612th, and 622nd), and two Inland Cargo Transfer Companies (155 and 567). The battalion also has administrative control of four Engineer Dive Detachments (74th, 86th, 511th, and 569th). Since 2001, the battalion has experienced a near constant rotation of units into and out of the CENTCOM AOR with the headquarters and subordinate units deploying to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait as part of Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn. Most recently, the battalion headquarters returned from a deployment to Liberia as part of Operation United Assistance and the response to the West African Ebola outbreak.[1] The MCB is a functional transportation battalion that executes movement control in its assigned area of operation. It provides mission command over four to ten MCT spread throughout its area of operation. The MCB oversees the committing of Army theater common user transportation and is responsible for regulating Army movement on theater controlled MSRs and ASRs. The MCB is directly subordinate to the TSC/ESC and is a vital component in assisting in the planning and execution of deployment, redeployment, and distribution operations.[2] The Movement Control Team (MCT) is designed to execute five movement control missions: 1) intermodal 2) area 3) movement regulation 4) documentation and 5) division support (see chapter 5). The commits allocated transportation assets, regulates movement, and provides transportation services in a theater of operation. MCTs are positioned throughout the theater to assist in the decentralized execution of movement control responsibilities.[3] The Inland Cargo Transfer Companies (ICTC) provide material handling and cargo management at a variety of locations, ensuring accountability and efficient movement of cargo to end destination. The company can manage intermodal transfer points including rail yards, airfields, seaports, and central receiving and shipping points. Lineage
"Brick red and golden yellow (gold) are the colors traditionally associated with the Transportation Corps. The heavy equipment (truck) of the organization is symbolized by the elephant and the tower, indigenous to Europe, the general area in which the unit served during World War II. The four arrowheads allude to the four assault landings made the Battalion."[4] Referring to the Battalion's long term service in Germany, SIEGESRÄDER translates as "Victory Wheels."
