Which term is the unit symbol for the Transportation Unit?

• A. Supply Unit Symbol
• B. Signal Unit Symbol
• C. Transportation Unit Symbol
• D. Maintenance Unit Symbol

Answer: (C)

Unit symbols identify a unit’s function on plans, maps, and orders. For transportation, the official label used in doctrine is the Transportation Unit Symbol, which directly names the unit’s role—moving personnel, equipment, and supplies. That makes it the best fit for indicating a transportation capability on planning documents. The other terms correspond to different support functions—supply for provisioning and storage, signal for communications, and maintenance for repair and upkeep—so they do not represent the transportation function.
