Q
  1. TSgt Rojas is a loadmaster for a C-17 Globemaster stationed at McChord AFB, WA. He briefs his team on their upcoming mission. “This is classified information, he begins. We are deploying immediately to Aviano AB, Italy to pick up the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team stationed at Vicenza, Italy for a combat jump to an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia.
    This scenario BEST explains:
    a. the importance of secrecy and maneuver in joint campaigns.
    b. the relationship of supporting capabilities within a joint campaign.
    c. maneuver and surprise as principles of war.
A

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS B

REASON: In this scenario, the Air Force is providing airlift to the Army, which according to the Joint Warfighter chapter is one example of a supporting capability (one service using its functions to support another service). In addition, JP 1-02 defines a joint campaign as one in which elements of two or more departments that are military participate.

38
Q
  1. Since the Sept 11, 2001 attack on the US, the US military has been under indirect and asymmetric warfare. The US overwhelming dominance in military capability made it highly unlikely that adversaries will choose to fight head-to-head.

It includes, but is not limited to, activities such as insurgency, counterinsurgency, terrorism, and counterterrorism.
    This paragraph BEST summarizes ______________?
    a. Tactical Actions
    b. Adversarial Crisis Response
    c. Irregular Warfare
