Which actions are taken upon receipt of an ALERTORD?

• A. Begins pre-deployment activities and cargo preparation
• B. UTC specific with pre-deployment activities, Pre-deployment events, Cargo prep
• C. Cargo/PAX aircraft allocated for movement based on DOD priorities, Schedule of Events (SOE) creation, Cargo Inspection, and PAX Out Processing
• D. Plan, Brief, Execute, Debrief

Answer: (B)

When an ALERTORD arrives, you begin deployment readiness with the unit’s specific deployment framework in mind. The alert is tied to a Unit Type Code (UTC), so you immediately align actions to the exact forces, capabilities, and timeline identified by that UTC. Along with that alignment, you kick off pre-deployment activities that prepare people and equipment, start pre-deployment events such as briefings, inspections, and rehearsals, and begin cargo preparation to get materiel ready for movement. This combination—UTC specificity plus activated pre-deployment work, events, and cargo prep—captures the immediate, screen-to-mrigate steps the alert intends you to take. The other options either miss the UTC-specific element and formal pre-deployment events, or describe steps that come later in the deployment process (like allocating aircraft and building a Schedule of Events, or out-processing cargo and personnel). The generic plan-brief-execute-debrief cycle is a broad pattern, not the immediate, alert-driven actions required on receipt of an ALERTORD.
