  So that only one expeditionary commander is required.
- C.
  
  In order to reduce the airlift requirement when transporting.
- D.
  
  To eliminate the need for fragmenting across multiple units.
Correct Answer
D. To eliminate the need for fragmenting across multiple units.

Explanation
Developing and tasking unit type codes (UTC) from a single organization helps to eliminate the need for fragmenting across multiple units. This means that instead of having different units with different codes, all UTCs are managed and assigned by one organization. This ensures cohesion and standardization across units, reducing the potential for confusion and inefficiency. By centralizing the development and tasking of UTCs, resources can be allocated more effectively, and coordination becomes easier. This ultimately leads to a more streamlined and cost-effective process, as there is no need to divide and distribute tasks among multiple units.
