• C. DD 626 is used to request movement of convoys
• D. DD Form 1750 documents primary cargo

Answer: (A)

Coordinating convoy movements relies on an official request and approval document. The convoy request/approval form is the instrument units use to initiate a convoy and secure the necessary authorization from the appropriate authority. It captures essential details such as origin and destination, dates and times, route, vehicle makeup, cargo, security requirements, and any special instructions. With this form, planners and movement control can coordinate resources, route clearances, and escort support, ensuring the convoy has a formal, traceable authorization before departure. That combination of requesting and obtaining the necessary approvals makes it the best fit for handling convoy movements. The other forms serve different tasks—vehicle registration, movement requests not specific to convoys, or cargo documentation—and do not provide the official convoy authorization sequence.
