March credit
A march credit ( English movement credit ) is a permit issued by the military traffic management for marches and transports requiring notification to use certain roads at certain times under special conditions.
The approval for military vehicle marches in Germany was granted by the military traffic and transport management organization at the military area command level until their dissolution in 2013 ; the Bundeswehr logistics center has now taken on this task. The march credit forms a binding basis for the creation of a marching order , which is issued taking into account regulations, for example, on the transport of dangerous goods, traffic safety of vehicles and aircraft, noise protection, etc., as well as current conditions such as the load-bearing capacity of bridges, driving bans, road closures, etc.
Every vehicle in a marching column is marked with the marching credit number on both sides for the duration of the march. The monitoring of the conditions is carried out, for example, for heavy transports in agreement with field hunters and the march leaders. Additional accompaniment by the police is only provided in special cases.
