Which organization develops vessel stow plans for deploying unit equipment?

• A. SDDC (Surface Deployment and Distribution Command)
• B. MSC
• C. MTMC
• D. USTRANSCOM

Answer: (A)

The task of developing vessel stow plans for deploying unit equipment is handled by the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command. This organization is responsible for planning the sea leg of deployments, coordinating with ships and ports, and producing the Vessel Stow Plans that designate where each item goes on a vessel, the loading sequence, and how cargo is secured. While the Military Sealift Command provides the ships and crews, and MTMC was the predecessor that performed this role, today the duty sits with SDDC under USTRANSCOM.
