Which A-Staff directorate focuses on installations and base-support functions?

• A. Logistics and Maintenance
• B. Strategic Plans and Programs
• C. Installations
• D. Plans and Requirements

Answer: (C)

This item tests your understanding of which A-Staff directorate handles installations and base-support functions. The Installations directorate is the part of the A-Staff that focuses on the physical base and its support needs—facilities, real property, civil engineering, base security and safety, housing, environmental programs, utilities, and general base infrastructure. It’s about keeping the base itself functioning smoothly and safely.

The other directorates cover different areas: Logistics and Maintenance handles supply chains, equipment maintenance, and logistics support; Strategic Plans and Programs works on long-range strategy and major programs; Plans and Requirements focuses on developing plans and defining requirements for operations. Since the question is specifically about installations and base-support functions, the Installations directorate is the best fit.
