Who is responsible for signaling the convoy commander?

The vehicle commander is responsible for signaling the convoy commander because they are in charge of their specific vehicle and the personnel inside it. This role includes maintaining communication and situational awareness within the convoy. The vehicle commander acts as the primary liaison between their vehicle and the convoy commander, ensuring any necessary signals or messages are communicated effectively to coordinate movements and maintain convoy security.

While the lead driver focuses on driving and following established routes, and the security officer may handle protection measures, it is ultimately the vehicle commander who takes the lead in communication and signaling. The logistics officer typically deals with supply and resource management, which is separate from the direct command and control of convoy operations.
