21 Apr 15 - HWY 119/144 Auto Accidents


Question:  HWY 119/144 Auto Accidents (specifically at Trail# 43 – Red Cloud Hotel) and FS Road 144 and 149.  What are the required precautions of military vehicles crossing the highways and use of Road Guards?
Answer:  Convoy speeds are posted and all track vehicle require road guards whereas wheeled vehicles do not require road guards.  Many commanders have made efforts to reinforce the old rules of 100 meters between vehicles in convoys.  However, if any person observes an unsafe act while travelling on the roads and highways, please report it to the MPs. Fort Stewart Regulation 385-14 also outlines the policy for tank trail crossing of units that are operating in the training areas.  Range Control along with the Military Police have and will continue to enforce this policy.  Signs are also posted to alert drivers of tank crossing ahead.
