The statement “Can move once the convoy starts moving” is not necessary for the success of a Road Opening Party (ROP); in fact, it contradicts the purpose of an ROP.
A Road Opening Party (ROP) is deployed *ahead* of a convoy to survey and clear the route, neutralize potential threats, and ensure safe passage *before* the convoy reaches a particular point. The ROP must secure the route and maintain its position until the convoy has safely passed through the cleared area. Moving only after the convoy starts would defeat the purpose of advance security clearance.
Essential factors for ROP success include maintaining confidentiality of the route and timing, having the full strength of personnel and equipment deployed, and possessing thorough knowledge of the area to identify potential threats or ambush points. The ROP’s presence and actions *before* the convoy’s arrival are paramount for security.
