- B.
Services training aids (STA).
- C.

Which is not a factor that affects objective assessment?
- A.
Odd ball effect.
- B.
I-did-it-better effect.
- C.
Leveling effect.
- D.
It wasn’t me effect.
Correct Answer
D. It wasn’t me effect.Explanation
The "It wasn't me effect" is not a factor that affects objective assessment. This phrase implies that someone is trying to avoid taking responsibility or blame for something, which is unrelated to the process of objective assessment. Objective assessment refers to the evaluation of something based on factual evidence and unbiased criteria, without personal biases or external influences. The other options listed in the question, such as the odd ball effect, the I-did-it-better effect, and the leveling effect, are all factors that can potentially affect objective assessment by introducing biases or subjective judgments.Rate this question:

- D.
The master task listing (MTL) can be broken down to show what tasks and skill levels are required for specific duty positions.
Correct Answer
B. The task requirements have to be memorized.Explanation
Developing a Master Training Plan (MTP) offers several advantages such as listing all task requirements in one place, promoting program continuity by informing everyone about the requirements, and breaking down the master task listing (MTL) to show specific duty positions and their required tasks and skill levels. However, the statement "The task requirements have to be memorized" is not an advantage of developing an MTP. This implies that the task requirements are not documented or easily accessible, which can lead to confusion and inefficiency in training.Rate this question:

What are the two types of manpower requirements?
- A.
Military and civilian.
- B.
Funded and unfunded.
- C.
Department of Defense (DOD) and contractor.
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Funded and unfunded.Explanation
The correct answer is "Funded and unfunded." This is because manpower requirements can be categorized based on whether they are financially supported or not. Funded manpower requirements refer to positions that are financially supported by the organization, typically through appropriated funds. On the other hand, unfunded manpower requirements are positions that do not have financial support and may rely on alternative funding sources or be filled on a voluntary basis.Rate this question:

- C.
Increase in APF manpower costs.
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Loss in appropriated funds (APF) manpower.Explanation
The correct answer is "loss in appropriated funds (APF) manpower." This means that even if there is a decrease in the amount of funding available for a particular activity, the in-house operation of that activity can still continue. The term "appropriated funds" refers to funds that are allocated by a government or organization for specific purposes. Therefore, if there is a loss in APF manpower, it means that there is a decrease in the number of employees or resources available due to a reduction in funding, but the activity can still be carried out using the remaining resources.Rate this question:

Which budget do we use to obtain authorized appropriated fund (APF) to support the Force Support squadron requirements?
- A.
Appropriated funds (APF).
- B.
Cash flow.
- C.
Non-appropriated funds (NAF) income and expense.
- D.
APF and NAF funds.
Correct Answer
A. Appropriated funds (APF).Explanation
To obtain authorized appropriated funds (APF) to support the Force Support squadron requirements, we use the budget known as Appropriated funds (APF). This budget is specifically allocated and authorized by the government for specific purposes, such as supporting the needs of the Force Support squadron. It is different from cash flow, which refers to the movement of money in and out of a business, and non-appropriated funds (NAF) income and expense, which are funds generated by the organization itself. Therefore, the correct answer is Appropriated funds (APF).Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Operating.Explanation
The nonappropriated funds (NAF) income and expense budget refers to the budget that deals with the financial activities and operations of an organization. It includes the income generated and expenses incurred by the organization in its day-to-day operations. Therefore, the term "operating" is the most appropriate description for this type of budget, as it focuses on the operational aspects of the organization's finances.Rate this question:
