Correct Answer
A. 1Explanation
The correct answer is 1. This means that the maximum number of Chief Master Sergeants (CMSGT's) who can serve on active duty is no more than 1% of the total enlisted force. This suggests that there is a limit to the number of CMSGT's that can be on active duty at any given time, and it is a small percentage of the overall enlisted force.Rate this question:

For the objective wing if no general is authorized, which is not a valid position to place a Colonel in?
- A.
Commander
- B.
Vice commander
- C.
Group commander
- D.
Deputy commander
Correct Answer
D. Deputy commanderExplanation
A Colonel is not typically placed in the position of Deputy commander in the objective wing if no general is authorized. This is because the Deputy commander position is usually filled by a higher-ranking officer, such as a Brigadier General or higher. The Deputy commander is responsible for assisting the Commander and overseeing the operations of the objective wing. Placing a Colonel in this position would not align with the hierarchical structure and chain of command within the objective wing.Rate this question:
