The Services Control Center provides higher headquarters with a Situation Report (SITREP) of the day's mortuary affairs activity at the end of each day. This means that at the end of every day, the Services Control Center compiles and reports on the mortuary affairs activity that occurred throughout that day. This allows higher headquarters to stay informed and updated on the daily mortuary affairs operations.

Rank is the first factor when determining precedence among officers on active duty. Rank refers to the official position or level of authority that an officer holds within the military hierarchy. It is a key determinant of the officer's seniority and determines their position in the chain of command. Officers with higher ranks have more authority and are given precedence over those with lower ranks. Therefore, rank plays a crucial role in establishing the order of precedence among officers on active duty.

The protocol officer assists in managing and coordinating official events, ceremonies, and visits within the wing. They ensure that proper protocols and procedures are followed, and they act as a liaison between the wing commander and other military personnel, as well as civilian officials. Therefore, it is logical that the protocol officer would work directly under the wing commander in a deployed situation.

Deployable UTCs are required to attend Services combat training a certain number of days prior to deployment. The correct answer is 90-180, which means that they should attend the training anywhere between 90 to 180 days before the deployment. This range allows for flexibility in scheduling the training and ensures that the UTCs have enough time to receive the necessary combat training before their deployment.

Certified defense attache is not an authorized way to transport a body. This is because a certified defense attache refers to a military representative stationed in a foreign country, responsible for coordinating defense and military matters. They do not have the authority or resources to transport a body. Authorized ways to transport a body typically include commercial aircraft, government aircraft, or a hearse or service car.

The correct answer is "Mortuary affairs."

This is done to ensure the safety and security of the visitor and everyone involved in the visit.

The Secretary of Defense may waive the requirements to provide honors if it is necessary due to the requirements of war, national emergency, contingency operations, or other military requirement. As the head of the Department of Defense, the Secretary has the authority to make decisions and grant waivers in order to address the needs of the military in times of war or emergency situations. The Services commander, Installation commander, and MAJCOM commander do not have the same level of authority and decision-making power as the Secretary of Defense.

The Air Force, along with the other Services, submits funeral honors data for inclusion in an annual report to Congress each calendar year. This means that they provide this information once every year, specifically following the calendar year. Quarterly would mean four times a year, semi-annually would mean twice a year, and each fiscal year would refer to the financial year, which may not align with the calendar year. Therefore, the correct answer is each calendar year.

A follow-on UTC is a unit type code that marries up with other UTCs to increase capabilities.
