    If it is physically impossible to conduct an inventory of a user because of distance, the COMSEC manager

    • Requests special TDY orders from combat support group (CSGP)

    • Requests special TDY orders from MAJCOM

    • Conducts the inventory with the user by telephone

    • Asks the user to verify his or her holdings by letter or message

    Correct Answer
    A. Asks the user to verify his or her holdings by letter or message
    Explanation
    If it is physically impossible to conduct an inventory of a user because of distance, the COMSEC manager asks the user to verify his or her holdings by letter or message. This is the most practical solution in a situation where a physical inventory is not feasible due to distance constraints. By requesting the user to verify their holdings through a letter or message, the COMSEC manager can still ensure that the inventory is conducted accurately and securely, even if they cannot physically be present.
