    In the objective wing structure, the military personnel element (MPE) is aligned under the

    • Logistics support group.

    • Operations support group.

    • Force support squadron.

    • Personnel support squadron.

    Correct Answer
    A. Force support squadron.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is force support squadron. In the objective wing structure, the military personnel element (MPE) is aligned under the force support squadron. This means that the MPE falls under the responsibility and supervision of the force support squadron within the objective wing structure. The force support squadron is responsible for providing various support services to military personnel, including personnel management, career development, and administrative support. Therefore, it is logical for the MPE to be aligned under the force support squadron in this structure.

    • Translating personnel programs into individual actions affecting people.

    Correct Answer
    A. Administration of personnel programs.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "administration of personnel programs." This means that the mission of the military personnel element is to handle and oversee the various programs related to personnel management within the military. This includes tasks such as managing personnel records, coordinating assignments and promotions, and ensuring that the needs of commanders, Air Force members, and their families are met. By administering these programs effectively, the MPE can provide quality personnel support and ensure maximum economy, efficiency, and service in the military.

    Military personnel elements (MPE) may close customer service functions during normal duty hours for in-house training programs if closures are approved by the

    • Installation commander and advertised to the serviced population.

    • MPE commander and advertised to the serviced population.

    • Support group commander and closure is less than nine hours.

    • MPE commander and closure is less than nine hours.

    Correct Answer
    A. Installation commander and advertised to the serviced population.
    Explanation
    Military personnel elements (MPE) are allowed to close customer service functions during normal duty hours for in-house training programs, but only if these closures are approved by the installation commander and advertised to the serviced population. This ensures that the closure is authorized by the appropriate authority and that the individuals who rely on these services are informed in advance. The installation commander has the authority to make decisions regarding operations and activities on the military installation, including the closure of customer service functions for training purposes. By advertising the closure to the serviced population, individuals are made aware of the temporary interruption in service and can plan accordingly.

    • On and off the installation with an Air Force Reserve (AFRC) MPE radius beyond 50 miles.

    • At a geographically separated unit (more than 100 miles distant) without a host command MPE.

    Correct Answer
    A. On an installation with a host command MPE.
    Explanation
    Active duty military personnel elements (MPE) provide service to all active duty Air Force members who are collocated on an installation with a host command MPE. This means that regardless of their command affiliation, active duty military personnel can receive support and assistance from the MPE if they are stationed on an installation where a host command MPE is present.

    • Commander’s support staff (CSS) and commanders with host commander’s coordination.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Military Personnel Element (MPE) commander or superintendent. This individual is responsible for ensuring that 3S0X1 personnel are assigned equitably to host units. They oversee the assignment process and make sure that personnel are distributed fairly among the units.

    • Conduct training on personnel programs and evaluate compliance with directives.

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaluate status of training and compliance with personnel programs.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "evaluate status of training and compliance with personnel programs." This answer is supported by the information given in the question, which states that Military personnel elements (MPE) conduct annual staff assistance visits (SAV) to commander support staffs (CSS) to evaluate the status of training and compliance with personnel programs. This indicates that the purpose of these visits is to assess the training and compliance of the CSS with personnel programs.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    To what agencies must the military personnel element (MPE) report any functional personnel problems that substantially limit a commander’s support staff (CSS) mission capability?

    • Major command (MAJCOM) and HQ USAF.

    • MAJCOM and AFPC/DPSFM.

    • MPE commander and group commander.

    • Group commander and installation commander.

    Correct Answer
    A. MAJCOM and AFPC/DPSFM.
    Explanation
    The military personnel element (MPE) must report any functional personnel problems that substantially limit a commander's support staff (CSS) mission capability to the Major command (MAJCOM) and the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC)/Directorate of Personnel Services Functional Management (DPSFM). This is because the MAJCOM is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the activities of subordinate units, including the MPE, while the AFPC/DPSFM is responsible for personnel management and support functions for the Air Force. By reporting to these agencies, the MPE ensures that the appropriate authorities are aware of and can address any personnel issues that affect the CSS mission capability.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A request to establish an Air Force Reserve (AFRC) satellite personnel activity (SPA) must be submitted by or through the

    • Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC).

    • Numbered Air Force (NAF)to HQ AFRC.

    • Air Reserve Personnel Center (AFRPC).

    • Installation commander to the major command (MAJCOM).

    Correct Answer
    A. Numbered Air Force (NAF)to HQ AFRC.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Numbered Air Force (NAF) to HQ AFRC." When requesting to establish an Air Force Reserve (AFRC) satellite personnel activity (SPA), the request must be submitted from the Numbered Air Force (NAF) to the Headquarters (HQ) AFRC. This means that the request originates from the NAF level and is then sent to the higher-level HQ AFRC for consideration and approval. The NAF serves as an intermediate level between the installation commander and the major command (MAJCOM), ensuring that the request follows the proper chain of command within the Air Force Reserve structure. The Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) and Air Reserve Personnel Center (AFRPC) are not involved in this specific request process.

    • Not assigned to a geographically separated unit (GSU) and the GSU has administrative capability.

    • Not assigned to a GSU and the GSU has no administrative capability.

    • Assigned to a GSU and the GSU has no administrative capability.

    • Are assigned to a GSU and the GSU has administrative capability.

    Correct Answer
    A. Not assigned to a GSU and the GSU has no administrative capability.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "not assigned to a GSU and the GSU has no administrative capability." This means that the military personnel element (MPE) is responsible for handling all personnel actions for individuals who are not assigned to a geographically separated unit (GSU) and when the GSU does not have the capability to handle administrative tasks. In other words, the MPE takes charge of personnel actions for individuals in situations where there is no administrative support from the GSU.
