Perform a herringbone halt and resume movement

To perform the herringbone halt:

  • Receive the halt order.
  • Decelerate smoothly while maintaining convoy spacing.
  • Alternate pulling off to the left or right side of the route at a ~45° angle.
  • Angle the vehicle outward from the road axis,  maintaining sufficient spacing from adjacent vehicles.
  • Halt with wheels/tracks oriented to avoid obstacles or any potential hazards and to allow rapid re-entry to the route.

To resume movement:

  • Receive the order to move and wait for the vehicle in front of you to move if you are not the lead vehicle
  • Re-enter the route in convoy order.
  • Accelerate smoothly and re-establish convoy speed and spacing.
