Operational Control OPCON authority includes which actions?

• A. Control of resources and logistics
• B. Organizing and employing forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives
• C. Liaison with allied commands
• D. Personnel recruitment and training

Answer: (B)

OPCON authority lets a commander organize and employ assigned forces, assign tasks, and designate objectives, directing their actions to accomplish the mission. This scope covers how you use those forces in operations and issue the orders that shape execution. It does not include control of resources and logistics (that’s an administrative/support function), liaison with allied commands, or personnel recruitment and training, which fall outside OPCON.
