What does NTAT stand for in deployment terms?

• A. Non tactical air transport
• B. Not to accompany troops, ship by surface means
• C. National training and assessment team
• D. New tactical aerial transport

Answer: (B)

NTAT is a logistics label used in deployment planning to indicate cargo that should not accompany troops on air movement. It stands for Not To Accompany Troops, ship by surface means. In practice, items marked NTAT are moved separately by surface routes (truck, rail, or sea) instead of being carried with troops on aircraft, often due to handling requirements, security, or priority considerations. The other options describe terms that don’t fit deployment transport codes or misstate the meaning of NTAT.
