    • D.

      D. a unit’s mission capability.

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    15. (004) Capability assessments identify problems due to

    • A.

      A. onhand assets.

    • B.

      B. nonavailability of assets.

    • C.

      C. inadequate authorizations.

    • D.

      D. a unit’s mission capability.

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    16. (004) Who would normally assist with problems involving inadequate equipment authorizations?

    • A.

    • C.

      C. Higher headquarters.

    • D.

      D. Unit resource manager.

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    17. (004) Which of the following is an example of a limiting factor (LIMFAC)?

    • A.

      A. Landing rights.

    • B.

      B. Personnel shortfall.

    • C.

      C. Vehicle substitution.

    • D.

      D. Lack of in-place facilities.

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    18. (004) As a unit’s biggest responsibility, when should they identify shortfalls and limiting factors(LIMFACs)?

    • A.

      A. Annually.

    • B.

      B. Quarterly.

    • C.

      C. As soon as they are known.

    • D.

      D. When the information is requested.

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    19. (004) A deficiency in the number or type of personnel, equipment, or facilities available is

    • A.

      A. a temporary problem.

    • B.

      B. a limitation.

    • C.

      C. a shortfall.

    • D.

      D. a limiting factor (LIMFAC).

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    20. (005) Resources and capabilities of a specific location are identified in

    • A.

      A. WMP–1, Basic Plan and Supporting Annexes.

    • B.

      B. WMP–2, Plans Listing and Summary.

    • C.

      C. Part I of the in-garrison expeditionary support plan (IGESP).

    • D.

      D. Part II of the IGESP.

    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).

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    21. (005) A base’s limiting factors (LIMFACs) are identified in

      A. Part I of the in-garrison expeditionary support plan (IGESP).

    • B.

      B. Part II of the IGESP.

    • C.

      C. Annex D of a plan.

    • D.

      D. Expeditionary Site Plans (ESPs).

    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).

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    22. (005) In-garrison expeditionary support plans (IGESPs) are primarily developed for

    • A.

      A. possible war locations.

    • B.

      B. locations with a permanent Air Force presence.

    • C.

      C. locations without a permanent Air Force presence.

    • D.

      D. any US military installation.

    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).

    Rate this question:
