14.
14. (004) Feasibility assessments identify problems due to
Correct Answer
C. C. inadequate authorizations.
Explanation
Feasibility method
A comprehensive plan that addresses all taskings, requirements, and mission objectives should be
feasible in terms of unit resource authorizations for manpower, equipment, airframes, etc. Problem
areas or limitations due to inadequate authorizations are feasibility problems or limitations. Normally,
these types of problems require higher headquarters assistance or action.
15.
15. (004) Capability assessments identify problems due to
Correct Answer
B. B. nonavailability of assets.
Explanation
Capability method
On the other hand, well-written plans that are feasible (relating to authorizations), but cannot be
supported due to the nonavailability of assets, are capability problems or limitations. These types of
problems have a greater potential for unit-level resolution. The logistics plans office develops
logistics portions of feasibility and capability studies.
16.
16. (004) Who would normally assist with problems involving inadequate equipment authorizations?
Correct Answer
C. C. Higher headquarters.
Explanation
A comprehensive plan that addresses all taskings, requirements, and mission objectives should be
feasible in terms of unit resource authorizations for manpower, equipment, airframes, etc. Problem
areas or limitations due to inadequate authorizations are feasibility problems or limitations. Normally,
these types of problems require higher headquarters assistance or action.
17.
17. (004) Which of the following is an example of a limiting factor (LIMFAC)?
Correct Answer
D. D. Lack of in-place facilities.
Explanation
Normally, LIMFACs involve aircraft generation, launch capability, or major obstacles in other
support areas. Examples of LIMFACs are transportation network deficiencies, lack of in-place
facilities, malpositioned forces or materiel, and extreme climatic conditions.
18.
18. (004) As a unit’s biggest responsibility, when should they identify shortfalls and limiting factors(LIMFACs)?
Correct Answer
C. C. As soon as they are known.
Explanation
Unit responsibilities
Obviously, the biggest responsibility is for a unit to identify its shortfalls and LIMFACs as soon as
they are known. A thorough description of the problem is a must. The unit should also tell what
actions they have taken to correct the problem, any workarounds, and if there is a get-well date for the
problem.
19.
19. (004) A deficiency in the number or type of personnel, equipment, or facilities available is
Correct Answer
C. C. a shortfall.
Explanation
Shortfalls
A shortfall is a deficiency in the number or type of personnel, equipment, or facilities available within
the time required for the performance of the assigned task. Shortfalls are the difference between
resources identified as required and those actually provided to the combatant commander. Remember
that shortfalls deal with on-hand assets, not resource authorizations.
20.
20. (005) Resources and capabilities of a specific location are identified in
Correct Answer
C. C. Part I of the in-garrison expeditionary support plan (IGESP).
Explanation
Both the IGESP and the ESP have a standard format consisting of two parts. Part I identifies
resources and capabilities of a location by functional area and is the focus of the expeditionary site
survey. For contingency requirements, Part II of the plan allocates resources identified in Part I,
assesses the ability to support the operation, and identifies LIMFACs. It is through these plans that all
units operating out of the location become familiar with the existing resource allocations and key
tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
21.
21. (005) A base’s limiting factors (LIMFACs) are identified in
Correct Answer
B. B. Part II of the IGESP.
Explanation
Both the IGESP and the ESP have a standard format consisting of two parts. Part I identifies
resources and capabilities of a location by functional area and is the focus of the expeditionary site
survey. For contingency requirements, Part II of the plan allocates resources identified in Part I,
assesses the ability to support the operation, and identifies LIMFACs. It is through these plans that all
units operating out of the location become familiar with the existing resource allocations and key
tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
22.
22. (005) In-garrison expeditionary support plans (IGESPs) are primarily developed for
Correct Answer
C. C. locations without a permanent Air Force presence.
Explanation
The expeditionary site planning process produces an IGESP, formerly known as the BSP and an ESP.
IGESPs are primarily developed for locations with a permanent Air Force presence, and are fully
developed by the collaborative planning efforts of many functional experts with a deliberate planning
time line. ESPs are chiefly associated with locations without a permanent Air Force presence and may
contain only the minimum data necessary to make initial beddown decisions (quick reaction site
survey information in Part I).
23.
23. (006) Acquisition and Cross Servicing Agreements (ACSAs) are normally for
Correct Answer
C. C. reimbursable mutual logistics support.
Explanation
ACSAs Definitions
ACSAs are international agreements written, negotiated, and concluded under the authority of
Chapter 10, US Code Chapter 138. ACSAs are designed to provide an additional legal basis for
reimbursable mutual logistics support from/to approved allied forces.
24.
24. (006) There are three ways to account for reimbursement in acquisition and cross-servicing agreements (ACSAs), which of the following is not an acceptable way to settle accounts?
Correct Answer
A. A. I owe you (IOU).
Explanation
All support provided by US forces must be paid for through either
replacement in kind (RIK), which is a one for one swap, payment in cash (PIC), or equal value
exchange (EVE), which is replacing an item or service with a different item or service of relatively
equal value.
25.
25. (006) The fund cite is identified in which document?
Correct Answer
B. B. Implementing Arrangements (IAs).
Explanation
Reviewing an Implementing Arrangement (IA)
1. Locate Implementing Arrangement.
a. Determine if IA is part of an ACSA or exists as a separate document.
b. Coordinate with MAJCOM or other authority if no IA exists or if a new IA is
required.
2. Identify IA number.
3. Identify responsible/authorized agency(ies).
a. Ordering/Receiving Authority
b. Financial Authority
4. Identify peacetime/wartime/contingency applications.
5. Identify required order form/minimum essential data elements).
6. Identify order/receipt/invoice processes.
7. Identify terms, conditions, definitions, and restrictions, if any.
8. Identify duration, interpretation, modification, and termination clauses, as required.
9. Identify procedures for settling disputes/liabilities, as required.
10. Identify payment methods authorized, fund cite information, and pricing/payment procedures.
26.
26. (006) When interpreting an acquisition and cross-servicing agreements (ACSA), you should review it to identify/verify
Correct Answer
D. D. coordination requirements.
Explanation
3. Review the ACSA to identify/verify:
• Available payment methods.
• Available pricing methods & requirements.
• Allowed/Prohibited categories of support.
• Unique provisions/exclusions (i.e., airlift, POL, munitions, lease/loan).
• Coordination requirements.
27.
27. (006) Who is responsible for providing reports to HQ USAF/ILXX and how frequently should reports be submitted?
Correct Answer
B. B. MACJOM ACSA Managers/annually.
Explanation
Reporting Requirements
Just like “traditional” support agreements, ACSAs are required to be tracked and funds must be
accounted for annually. In order to track or account for ACSAs, MAJCOM ACSA Managers (usually
the Support Agreement Manager) will assign IA numbers for specific IAs using the codes outlined in
AFI 25–301, Attachment 3.
28.
28. (006) ACSAs are agreements written, negotiated, and concluded under the authority of
Correct Answer
B. B. US Code Chapter 138.
Explanation
ACSAs are international agreements written, negotiated, and concluded under the authority of
Chapter 10, US Code Chapter 138. ACSAs are designed to provide an additional legal basis for
reimbursable mutual logistics support from/to approved allied forces.
29.
29. (006) Additional restrictions or requirements may be placed on the use of Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreements (ACSAs) by
Correct Answer
D. D. Unified Commands.
Explanation
ACSAs are not designed to
replace existing authority or agreements, but offer a flexible means to exchange support in emergency
situations where no authority exists or existing authority does not apply. There are restrictions on the
types of support US forces can provide under ACSA. In addition, unified commands, i.e.
USCENTCOM, USEUCOM, etc. may place additional restrictions or requirements on the use of
ACSAs during operations.
