Regardless of Air Force specialty code (AFSC), rank, staff, or line duty - everyone is considered an expeditionary Airman, and must be trained and ready to fight our nation’s wars.

ACSA stands for Army Centralized Selection List. It is a process used by the United States Army to select and assign officers to various positions. The term "reimbursable" means that the expenses incurred during the ACSA transactions can be reimbursed or paid back. This suggests that the costs associated with the process, such as travel expenses or training fees, can be claimed back by the individuals involved. Therefore, the correct answer is "a. reimbursable."

The TPFDD (Time-Phased Force and Deployment Data) is maintained in the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) or the Global Command and Control System (GCCS). These systems are used to organize and track the movement of forces and resources during military operations. SMS and GDSS are not specifically designed for TPFDD maintenance, and LOGMOD is a logistics module that may be used in conjunction with JOPES or GCCS.

The correct answer is c. Block and line number seating. In LOGMOD, passengers are prioritized using the block and line number seating methods. Block seating refers to grouping passengers based on their assigned blocks, which could be determined by factors such as rank or priority. Line number seating refers to assigning passengers to specific seats within their block based on their line number, which could be determined by factors such as time of arrival or check-in. This method allows for efficient and organized boarding of passengers in LOGMOD.

After Manpower verifies the tasking, the next step in the taking process is for Manpower to type "P" in the Task Stat field.

ITV, or In-Transit Visibility, provides visibility of deploying cargo and personnel from home station, or origin, to destination. It allows for tracking and monitoring of the movement of these resources, ensuring that they reach their intended destination safely and on time. ITV helps in maintaining situational awareness and enables efficient planning and coordination of deployments. IDP, GDSS, and LOGMOD are not specifically related to providing visibility of deploying cargo and personnel.

The DCC key staff should be provided with land mobile radios and cell telephones in order to facilitate rapid and accurate communications. This is important for effective coordination and response during emergency situations or critical operations. Having access to these communication devices allows the key staff to quickly relay information, make timely decisions, and coordinate actions with other team members.

It should be strong and capable enough to support and manage the resources, personnel, and logistics involved in such a deployment. This ensures that the IDP can effectively and efficiently address the challenges and demands of a large-scale deployment.

RQT stands for Request for Quotation and it is a capability that allows the planner to query TPFDD (Time-Phased Force and Deployment Data). This means that the planner can use RQT to request information or data related to the force and deployment schedules. MEFPAK, SMS, and IDP are not mentioned in the explanation, so they are not the correct answers.

Commanders must review all UTC taskings in ART on a monthly basis. This ensures that they stay updated on the taskings and can make any necessary adjustments or changes as needed. Reviewing the taskings on a regular basis helps to ensure that they are being executed effectively and efficiently.

The first step in creating an IDP must be determining the maximum simultaneous deployment capability. This is important because it helps in understanding the capacity and capability of the organization to deploy personnel and resources simultaneously. By determining this, the organization can effectively plan and allocate resources for deployments, ensuring that they do not exceed their capacity and can effectively support ongoing operations. Acquiring copies of other installation's deployment plans, reviewing current CENTAF reporting instructions, and holding a Deployment Process Working Group may be important steps in the overall process, but determining the maximum simultaneous deployment capability is the crucial first step.

The correct answer is d. PDF. A PDF, or Personnel Deployment Function, is an organized processing activity that ensures deploying personnel are accounted for and prepared for deployment. It involves verifying personnel information, conducting medical screenings, providing necessary training and equipment, and ensuring all necessary paperwork and documentation is completed. A PDF plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and efficient deployment of personnel for military operations.

The correct answer is a. all AEF forces are vulnerable for OPLAN requirements. This means that if the baseline AEF vulnerability period of four months is in place, it will make all AEF forces vulnerable and ready to respond to OPLAN requirements. This suggests that the vulnerability period is an important factor in ensuring the readiness of the force for rotational and OPLAN requirements.

The ART (Air and Space Expeditionary Tasking, Reporting, and Tracking System) is used to view the UTC (Unit Type Code) level readiness status of forces in 10 AEF (Air Expeditionary Force). It provides a comprehensive picture of the readiness and availability of forces, allowing commanders to effectively plan and execute missions. The other options, DCAPES, SORTS, and DRIS, are not specifically designed for viewing UTC level readiness status.
