What is the primary purpose of support agreements?
- Identify the specific support functions one party will perform for another.
- Ensure the support process runs efficiently with all units prepared to deploy.
- Develop local support guidance explaining how all units will deploy from the installation.
- Define local processes, procedures, and resources that will be used when deploying forces.
Correct Answer

A. Identify the specific support functions one party will perform for another.

Explanation

The primary purpose of support agreements is to identify the specific support functions that one party will perform for another.

If you are assigned to an Air Force unit and your unit is providing a service to an Army unit, which type of support agreement is required?
- Intragovernmental.
- Intergovernmental.
- Intraservice.
- Interservice.
Correct Answer

A. Interservice.

Explanation

If an Air Force unit is providing a service to an Army unit, the type of support agreement required would be an interservice agreement. This is because the agreement is between two different branches of the military, in this case, the Air Force and the Army. The term "interservice" refers to cooperation and coordination between different branches of the military, and in this scenario, it would be necessary to have an agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of the support being provided.

Rate this question:
43.

When developing agreements, a mutual understanding is developed into guidelines for the support required, resulting in which document?
- Memorandum of support (MOS) or a memorandum of functional agreement (MOFA).
- Memorandum of agreement (MOA) or a memorandum of understanding (MOU).
- Installation support plan (ISP) or an MOA.
- ISP or an MOU.
Correct Answer

A. Memorandum of agreement (MOA) or a memorandum of understanding (MOU).

Explanation

When developing agreements, a mutual understanding is translated into guidelines for the support required. This process results in the creation of a document called a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). These documents outline the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved, serving as a formal record of the agreement reached.

Augmentation support is usually not provided for
- Installation-level exercises.
- Contingencies and wartime.
- Normal manpower shortfalls.
- Emergency situations/scenarios.
Correct Answer

A. Normal manpower shortfalls.

Explanation

Augmentation support refers to additional personnel or resources provided to support a specific operation or exercise. In installation-level exercises, the focus is on testing and evaluating the capabilities of the installation itself, rather than addressing normal manpower shortfalls. Therefore, augmentation support is typically not provided for normal manpower shortfalls during installation-level exercises.

- SrA Williams must provide her own gear to be an augmentee.
Correct Answer

A. The unit using SrA Williams as an augmentee.

- Of being subject to deploy in support of an operations plan, taking priority over local augmentation requirements.
- Augmentation support must be explicitly documented in the individual's contract before performing augmentation duties.
Correct Answer

A. Of being subject to deploy in support of an operations plan, taking priority over local augmentation requirements.

Explanation

A member who is assigned to a unit type code (UTC) is normally not assigned augmentation duties because they are subject to deploy in support of an operations plan, which takes priority over local augmentation requirements. This means that their primary responsibility is to support the operations plan, and they may not be available for local augmentation duties.
