Which term describes the geographic point in a routing scheme from which personnel/cargo depart?

• A. Beach Operations Group
• B. Sea Port of Embarkation
• C. Aerial Port of Embarkation
• D. Sea Port of Debarkation

Answer: (B)

In routing, the starting point for movement by sea—where personnel and cargo are loaded onto ships to depart—is the Sea Port of Embarkation. Embarkation denotes loading onto the vessel and beginning the sea journey, making SPOE the correct term for the departure point. This differs from a Sea Port of Debarkation, which is the arrival point where personnel or cargo disembark, and from an Aerial Port of Embarkation, which applies to air movements. The Beach Operations Group isn’t used as a port term in this context.
