Movement Control Office (ARMY MCO) is dedicated to making rail reservations for military personnel. Initially, Railways were meant for the military only! So, bear in mind, when a military staff finds accommodation difficult! They are eligible for the highest consideration. So, I am providing the list of all MCO Contact Numbers in this post.
Introduction of Army MCO
Full form of MCO is Movement Control Office. MCO is a help desk for serving and retired Indian defence services personnel at various major railway stations. Army MCO manages the Defence Department Quota (DDQ) in trains, providing priority reservations for defence personnel with urgent travel needs. It is confirmed seats through quota in Indian Railway for Indian Armed Forces which Army, Navy and Airforce defence persons and their family can utilise by ARMY MCO at railway station.
Defence Quota for Defence Person through Army MCO
By Defence quota, there are some seats reserved in 1A, 2AC, 3AC and sleeper class of Indian Railways but a defence person only gets a confirmed seat when he has a waitlisted ticket and for a confirmed ticket through ARMY MCO it will confirm the seat. A PDF file of the Defence Quota train list and seats is available below in the post.
