- A.
Concept.
- B.
Operational.
- C.
Functional.
- D.
Supporting.
Correct Answer
B. Operational.Explanation
An operational plan includes all required annexes, appendices, and a supporting time-phased force deployment data (TPFDD). This type of plan provides detailed information on how a specific operation will be conducted and includes the necessary resources, tasks, and timelines. It is designed to guide the execution of military operations and ensure the efficient deployment of forces. Functional plans, on the other hand, focus on specific functions or activities within an organization, while supporting plans provide additional support and resources for the execution of operational plans.Rate this question:

(202) A plan to develop sound operational and support concepts that can be rapidly expanded into an operation order (OPORD) if necessary describes which type of plan?
- A.
Concept.
- B.
Operation.
- C.
Functional.
- D.
Supporting.
Correct Answer
A. Concept.Explanation
The correct answer is Concept. A concept plan is a plan that outlines the basic operational and support concepts for a specific operation. It provides a framework for developing more detailed plans, such as an operation order (OPORD), if necessary. In this case, the plan is focused on developing sound operational and support concepts that can be quickly expanded into an OPORD if needed. This suggests that the plan is at the conceptual stage and is not yet a fully developed operational plan.Rate this question:

- C.
Air and space expeditionary group.
- D.
Air and space expeditionary wing.
Correct Answer
A. Air and space expeditionary squadron.Explanation
The correct answer is Air and space expeditionary group. This is because the air and space expeditionary group is the basic warfighting organization of the Air Force and is the building block of the air and space expeditionary task force (AETF). The air and space expeditionary squadron is a smaller unit within the group, and the air and space expeditionary element is even smaller, typically consisting of a single aircraft type.
