The loading of troop units with their equipment and supplies in vessels of the same movement group, but not necessarily in the same vessel.

CONT

Three other forms of loading are more commonly used for U.S. sea convoys. One is "unit loading" in which all the equipment and men of a unit get aboard the same ship. ... Other loading methods are "convoy loading" in which one convoy holds all the task force equipment, permitting the loading of ships in a way which fills them almost completely, and the most efficient method of all, "commercial loading" where even the spaces between the deck beams can be filled.

OBS

convoy loading: term and definition standardized by NATO in the AAP-6 standard published in 2008, but not included in the 2009 version.
