The correct answer is "Never" because "washing remains" does not make sense in this context. The other options suggest washing the remains based on the departure time of an aircraft, but it is unclear what "washing remains" refers to. Therefore, the most logical answer is that it is never necessary to wash remains in this scenario.

In a wartime environment, levels of service will increase commensurate with quality of life programs, where possible, after M+30. This means that after 30 minutes from a specific event or time (M), there will be an increase in the levels of service. This indicates that efforts will be made to improve the quality of life programs available to individuals in the wartime environment.

The correct answer is "All Services military personnel." This means that all military personnel from all branches of the armed forces are required to complete home station and readiness training (HSRT). This training is necessary for all service members to ensure they are prepared and ready for deployment or any other operational requirements.

The correct answer is Hardwood. This suggests that the flag case given to the family of the deceased member is made of hardwood material. Hardwood is a durable and high-quality material commonly used for making furniture and other decorative items. It is often chosen for flag cases to provide a sense of elegance and to honor the memory of the deceased.

The competent medical authority is required to declare death at the casualty collection point (CCP). This individual is trained and qualified to assess and determine if a person is deceased. They have the necessary medical knowledge and expertise to make an accurate determination of death. The officer in charge (OIC), noncommissioned officer in charge (NCOIC), and the survival recovery center (SRC) may have important roles in managing the CCP, but it is ultimately the competent medical authority who has the responsibility to declare death.

The correct answer is 90. This suggests that 90% of the wartime feeding population is used to determine Services' support capability. This means that the Services' support capability is based on the majority of the population that requires feeding during wartime.

Mobility folders play a key role in ensuring all personnel identified for deployment have their affairs in order at all times. These folders contain important documents and information related to the personnel's readiness for deployment, such as medical records, training certificates, and personal contact information. By keeping these folders updated and organized, the military can ensure that all necessary preparations are made before personnel are deployed, minimizing any potential issues or delays. The other options, base legal office, squadron readiness office, and installation deployment plan, may have their own roles in the deployment process, but mobility folders specifically focus on the readiness and organization of individual personnel.

The Air Force Survivor Assistance Program (AFSAP) marshals available resources to support the family. This program is designed to provide assistance and support to the families of deceased Air Force members. It aims to help them cope with the loss, navigate through the administrative processes, and access the resources they need during this difficult time. By focusing on the family, AFSAP ensures that they receive the necessary support and care after the loss of their loved one.

The correct answer is split sourcing. A force requirement may require more than one TPFDD entry due to split sourcing, which means that the required resources are obtained from multiple sources. This could be because a single source cannot provide all the necessary resources, or it could be a strategic decision to diversify the sources to mitigate risks. By splitting the sourcing, the force requirement can be fulfilled by multiple entities or locations, ensuring a more efficient and effective deployment of resources.

The deployment requirements manning document (DRMD) is a document that outlines the structure of a unit in terms of the ranks and positions of its personnel. It specifies the hierarchical structure of the unit, indicating the different ranks and positions that exist within the unit. This document helps to ensure that the unit is properly staffed and organized, with individuals assigned to the appropriate positions based on their rank and qualifications.

The unit deployment manager (UDM) is responsible for providing quarterly training status updates to the Force Support Squadron (FSS) commander. This is because the FSS commander oversees the deployment process and is responsible for ensuring that all personnel are properly trained and prepared for deployment. By providing training status updates to the FSS commander, the UDM helps to ensure that the commander has the necessary information to make informed decisions regarding deployment readiness.

The force module that is only deployed to locations where sustainment operations are expected to continue for more than 45 days is "Operate the Base." This force module is responsible for managing and maintaining the base operations, including logistics, infrastructure, and support services, for an extended period of time. It ensures the smooth functioning of the base and provides the necessary resources and support for sustained operations.

A family liaison officer (FLO) must be assigned within 24 hours of a death notification. This is crucial to provide immediate support and assistance to the bereaved family during their time of grief. The FLO plays a vital role in ensuring effective communication between the family and the authorities, providing updates on investigations, and addressing any concerns or questions the family may have. Assigning an FLO promptly helps to establish a strong support system and facilitates a smoother process for the family during this difficult time.

The correct answer is Single parents, dual military couples with dependents, and members with civilian spouses who have unique situations. This group of individuals is required to develop a written family care plan and document it on an AF Form 357, Family Care Certification. This is because these individuals have additional responsibilities and circumstances that require them to have a plan in place to ensure the care and well-being of their dependents in their absence.

The family liaison officer (FLO) will contact the family on a daily basis. This implies that the FLO will regularly communicate with the family members, providing them with updates, support, and any necessary information. Daily contact ensures that the family is kept informed and involved throughout the process, allowing for a more effective and efficient support system.

The first factor to consider, if position is not taken into account, when determining precedence among officers on active duty is their rank. Rank is the primary determinant of authority and seniority within the military hierarchy. It signifies the level of command and responsibility an officer holds and establishes the order of precedence in decision-making and leadership.

In Part II of the In-Garrison Expeditionary Site Plan (IGESP), resources are allocated. This means that the resources are assigned or distributed to specific areas or purposes according to a plan or strategy. The allocation process ensures that the resources are used efficiently and effectively to meet the needs and objectives of the expeditionary site.

The In-Garrison Expeditionary Site Plan (IGESP) is reviewed on an annual basis. This means that it is evaluated and updated once every year. This review process ensures that the plan remains current and effective in addressing any changes or developments in the garrison's expeditionary operations. By reviewing the IGESP annually, any necessary adjustments can be made to enhance its efficiency and alignment with the garrison's goals and objectives.

The correct answer is 2 because home station training and readiness training are two separate tiers. Home station training refers to the training conducted at the home base or station of the military personnel, while readiness training focuses on preparing the personnel for deployment or combat situations. Therefore, these two tiers make up the overall training process.

When notified of an active duty death, the mortuary officer is responsible for opening a new case file and documenting pertinent information. This includes gathering details about the deceased, notifying the appropriate parties, and coordinating the necessary arrangements for the deceased service member. The mortuary officer plays a crucial role in ensuring that all necessary procedures are followed and that the family and loved ones of the deceased receive the support and assistance they need during this difficult time.

The most senior guest sits to the right of the hostess or host at an all male event. This position is considered to be the seat of honor, as it is traditionally reserved for the guest of highest rank or importance. By placing the most senior guest to the right, it shows respect and acknowledges their status within the event.

An after-actions report is a document that provides a detailed account of an incident or operation. It typically includes information such as the number of fatalities, the location of the incident, and the start and end date of the operation. However, the number of participants from each squadron is not included in an after-actions report. This information is not relevant to the report's purpose, which is to analyze the actions taken and provide recommendations for improvement.

The Warfighting Requirements Review (WFRR) working group makes recommendations on policy, training, and resource allocation issues to the Readiness, training, education and manpower team (RTEAM).

It allows them to stay informed about the current situation and make any necessary decisions or adjustments. Providing a daily report ensures that the information is up-to-date and allows for timely decision-making.

On Memorial Day, the United States Flag should be flown at half-staff until noon as a sign of respect for the men and women who have died while serving in the military. After noon, the flag should be raised to the top to symbolize the nation's resilience and to honor the sacrifices made by the fallen soldiers. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May each year.

The document that contains time-phased force data, non-unit-related cargo and personnel data, and movement data for the operation plan (OPLAN) is the Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD). This document provides a detailed plan for the deployment of forces, including the timing and sequencing of movements, the resources needed, and the personnel and equipment involved. It helps to ensure that all necessary resources are available at the right time and place to support the operation plan. The other options (Unit line number, Force Requirement Number, Joint Operation Planning and Execution System) do not specifically refer to the document that contains this information.

The bioenvironmental engineer is responsible for educating and training search and recovery (S&R) team members on the use, maintenance, and care of respirators used to protect against the inhalation of harmful atmospheres. They have the expertise and knowledge in this area and are trained to ensure that the S&R team members are properly equipped and informed about the proper use and care of respirators.

The person authorized direct disposition (PADD) is given 10 copies of the death certificate. This is likely because multiple copies may be needed for various legal and administrative purposes, such as notifying financial institutions, insurance companies, and government agencies. Having 10 copies ensures that the PADD has enough copies to fulfill these requirements without needing to make additional copies.

During the recovery phase of a search and recovery (S&R) event, three tags are used for each set of remains found. These tags are used to properly identify and document the remains, ensuring that they are handled and processed correctly. Having three tags helps in maintaining a comprehensive record of the remains and ensures that all necessary information is recorded accurately.

The Security Forces (SF) or Office of Special Investigations (OSI) should be notified every time a distinguished visitor (DV) visits an installation because they are responsible for ensuring the security and safety of the installation. They need to be aware of any high-profile visitors and take appropriate measures to protect them and the installation. The DV lodging manager, local embassy or visitor's bureau, and Air Traffic Operations Center (ATOC) may also be involved in the visit, but the primary responsibility for notification lies with the Security Forces or Office of Special Investigations.

The correct answer is Air Force Services Agency, Mortuary Affairs (AFSVA/SVOM). This agency should be notified when a fatality mishap occurs for a Fatality Search and Recovery Team determination.

At formal events, husbands and wives should be seated opposite each other. This seating arrangement allows them to interact and engage in conversation throughout the event. It also promotes a sense of togetherness and allows them to enjoy each other's company while still being part of the larger group.

Deployable unit type codes (UTC) are required to attend Force Support Combat Training (FSCT) a certain number of days prior to deploying. The correct answer, 90-180, indicates that the UTCs are required to attend FSCT anywhere between 90 to 180 days before their deployment. This range allows for flexibility in scheduling the training and ensures that the UTCs are adequately prepared for combat operations.

The Defense Attaché Office (DAO) is not an authorized way to transport remains in the continental United States (CONUS). The DAO is a diplomatic office that represents the defense interests of one country in another, and it is not involved in transportation services for remains. Commercial aircraft, government aircraft, and hearse or service car are all authorized methods for transporting remains within the continental United States.

The assigned protocol personnel support commanders in hosting distinguished visitors and organizing official functions. This includes planning and executing change of command ceremonies, designing and sending invitations to official functions, and coordinating all dining-in and dining-out ceremonies held on base. They play a crucial role in ensuring that these events run smoothly and that distinguished visitors are properly hosted and accommodated.

The correct answer is "ceremonial bugle if the military service permits." This means that it is not allowed to play taps at a military funeral using a ceremonial bugle if the military service does not grant permission.

The Air Force uses the Status of resources and training system (SORTS) to assess readiness, determine budgetary allocations, and manage how actions impact unit level readiness. SORTS provides information on the status of resources, personnel, and training within a unit, allowing the Air Force to make informed decisions regarding readiness and resource allocation. It helps in identifying any gaps or deficiencies in resources or training that may affect unit readiness and allows for effective management of these issues.
