True/False: If planners identify transportation shortfalls, they will plan movement according to transportation priorities (TP).

True/False: If planners identify transportation shortfalls, they will plan movement according to transportation priorities (TP).

• A. FALSE, Command Priorities
• B. TRUE
• C. FALSE, TP
• D. TRUE, Command Priorities

Answer: (A)

In planning, when transportation shortfalls are identified, movement is guided by the commander's priorities rather than the transportation priorities. Transportation priorities set the typical order for using transport assets, but a shortfall signals that the highest-level goals and urgent needs defined by the command must drive decisions. This means the plan may shift resources or reallocate focus to address what the command deems most critical, even if that means not following the usual TP sequence. So the statement is false because command priorities take precedence in these situations, guiding movement decisions above the standard transportation priorities.
