Which item is listed under the Command and Signal section?

• A. Size (Alpha)
• B. Activity (Bravo)
• C. Location (Charlie)
• D. Equipment (Fox)

Answer: (D)

Command and Signal deals with how orders are issued and kept in contact with the unit, including the tools and methods used to maintain that communication. Equipment fits here because it covers the radios, signaling gear, and other devices essential for issuing commands and coordinating actions. Without the right equipment, command and control can’t be effectively exercised. The other items describe attributes or actions of the unit (size, activity, location) rather than the means of command and communication, so they belong to different aspects of planning or execution.
