- Maritime
- Space Enviornment
Correct Answer

A. Maritime

Explanation

Maritime refers to the areas and elements related to the sea and its surroundings. It includes the oceans, seas, bays, estuaries, islands, coastal areas, and the airspace above these regions.

Information environment also includes _____.
- Cyberspace
- Air space
- Land communication
Correct Answer

A. Cyberspace

Explanation

The information environment refers to the space where information is created, processed, and shared. Cyberspace is a part of the information environment as it encompasses the digital realm where information is transmitted and accessed through computer networks. It includes websites, social media platforms, online databases, and other digital platforms. Air space and land communication, on the other hand, do not directly relate to the information environment as they primarily refer to physical spaces for transportation and communication.

- Range of military operations (ROMO)
- Traditional and Irregular Warfare
- Doctrine
Correct Answer

A. Range of military operations (ROMO)

Explanation

The potential mentioned in the statement refers to the range of military operations (ROMO). ROMO encompasses various activities, including military engagement, security cooperation, deterrence, and large-scale combat operations. This means that the military's potential extends from times of relative peace, where they focus on cooperation and deterrence, to times of conflict, where they engage in combat operations. Therefore, ROMO is the correct answer as it encompasses the full spectrum of military activities.

____- places the enemy in a position of disadvantage through the flexible application of combat power in a multidimensional combat space
- Mass
- Maneuver
- Offensive
Correct Answer

A. Maneuver

Explanation

Maneuver is the correct answer because it involves the flexible application of combat power to place the enemy in a position of disadvantage. This means that through strategic movements and positioning, the military forces can gain an advantage over the enemy in a multidimensional combat space. Maneuver allows for adaptability and the ability to exploit weaknesses in the enemy's defenses, ultimately leading to a higher chance of success in the battle.

Because of airpower’s unique potential to directly affect the strategic and operational levels of war, it should be controlled by a single Airman who maintains the broad, strategic perspective necessary to balance and prioritize the use of a powerful, highly desired yet limited force.
- Centralized Control and Decentralized Execution
- Flexibility
- Synergistic Effects
- Persistance
- Versatility
Correct Answer

A. Centralized Control and Decentralized Execution

Explanation

The correct answer is centralized control and decentralized execution. This is because airpower has the potential to directly impact the strategic and operational levels of war, and therefore it should be controlled by a single Airman who can maintain a broad, strategic perspective. This allows for the balancing and prioritization of the use of airpower, which is a powerful and limited force. By centralizing control, decisions can be made in a coordinated and efficient manner. On the other hand, decentralized execution allows for flexibility and versatility in the implementation of airpower, as well as the ability to achieve synergistic effects and persistence in operations.

Correct Answer

A. Space Environment

Explanation

The correct answer is "Space Environment" because it is the only option that corresponds to the space domain, where electromagnetic radiation, charged particles, and electric and magnetic fields are the dominant physical influences. The other options (Air, Land, and Maritime) do not encompass the earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere, interplanetary space, and the solar atmosphere.

A liaison network is vital for facilitating operations due to the differences in doctrine, organization, equipment, training, and national law. This network allows for effective coordination and communication between different entities involved in the operations. It ensures that information and resources are shared efficiently, allowing for better collaboration and decision-making. Without a liaison network, the challenges posed by these differences would hinder the effectiveness and efficiency of operations.

Forces participating in a multinational operation will always have at least two distinct chains of command:
- Alliance Command
- Coalition Command
- Multinational Command
- National Command
Correct Answer(s)

A. Multinational Command
A. National Command

Explanation

In a multinational operation, different countries come together to work towards a common goal. Each country will have its own chain of command, known as national command, which includes their own military leaders and decision-making processes. Additionally, there will be a multinational command that oversees the entire operation and coordinates the efforts of all participating forces. This ensures that there is a unified approach and effective coordination among the different nations involved. Therefore, it is necessary to have both multinational command and national command in a multinational operation.

The operation plan is the correct answer because it is the most comprehensive and detailed plan that contains a full description of the CONOPS (Concept of Operations), including all applicable annexes. The operation plan outlines the specific actions, tasks, and resources required to execute a military operation or mission. It provides a clear and organized framework for commanders and staff to understand and execute their roles and responsibilities. The other options, such as concept plan, commander's estimate, basic plan, and base plan, may be components or subsets of the operation plan, but they do not encompass the entire plan with all its annexes.

Explanation

Surprise leverages the security principle by attacking the enemy at a time, place, or in a manner for which they are not prepared. By catching the enemy off guard, it disrupts their plans and forces them to react hastily, giving the attacker an advantage. This tactic is commonly used in military strategies to gain the upper hand and achieve strategic objectives.

______ , properly applied, often can provide a 70-, 80-, or even 90-percent solution to most questions, allowing leaders to focus on the remainder, which usually involves tailoring for the specific operation
- Policy
- Strategy
- Doctrine
Correct Answer

A. Doctrine

Explanation

Doctrine, properly applied, often can provide a 70-, 80-, or even 90-percent solution to most questions, allowing leaders to focus on the remainder, which usually involves tailoring for the specific operation. Doctrine refers to a set of principles or beliefs that guide decision-making and actions within an organization. By following established doctrine, leaders can rely on proven strategies and approaches that have been successful in the past. This frees up their time and energy to address the unique aspects and challenges of a specific operation, rather than starting from scratch.
