The movement order is a stand-alone order that facilitates an uncommitted unit's movement. The movements are typically administrative, and troops and vehicles are
arranged to expedite their movement and to conserve time and energy when no enemy interference (except by air) is anticipated. Normally, these movements occur in the
communications zone. The G4 (S4) has primary coordinating staff responsibility for planning and coordinating movements. However, he receives assistance from
other coordinating and special staff officers (such as the G3 (S3), PM, MP, transportation officers, and movement-control personnel). The G4 (S4) is also responsible for
preparing, publishing, and distributing the movement order. However, when conducting ground movement in rear areas of the combat zone where enemy interference is
expected, the movement order may become a highway regulation annex (in NATO, this is referred to as the movement annex) to an OPORD or SSORD. The G3 (S3) plans and
coordinates these tactical movements.
