Military vehicles will travel through almost all voivodeships, on motorways, expressways and national roads. The movement of convoys will also be part of the training.

The movement of convoys is coordinated to minimize disruptions to road traffic. Convoys are escorted by the Military Gendarmerie and traffic-control units, in cooperation with the police and local authorities.
