Which A-Staff directorate handles personnel and manpower functions?

• A. Personnel
• B. Intelligence
• C. Logistics and Maintenance
• D. Studies, Analysis, and Assessment

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is recognizing which part of A-Staff is responsible for people-related tasks. The Personnel directorate handles human resources, manpower planning, personnel records, promotions, assignments, and HR policies. These are the functions that manage who serves in the organization and how they are managed throughout their careers. The other directorates have different focuses: Intelligence is about gathering and analyzing information and supporting security; Logistics and Maintenance covers supplies, maintenance, and logistics support; Studies, Analysis, and Assessment conducts research and evaluations to inform decisions. So, the directorate focused on personnel and manpower is the Personnel directorate.
