SECTION 1: MISSION COMMAND PHILOSOPHY & WARFIGHTING
FUNCTIONS (Q1-15)
Q1. According to ADP 6-0, Mission Command is the Army's approach to command and
control that empowers subordinate decision-making and decentralized execution based
on:
A. Detailed orders and constant supervision
B. Mutual trust, shared understanding, and commander's intent
C. Standard operating procedures only
D. Technology-enabled micromanagement
B. Mutual trust, shared understanding, and commander's intent [CORRECT]
Rationale: ADP 6-0 defines Mission Command as empowering subordinates through
mutual trust, shared understanding, and clear commander's intent. Options A and D
describe centralized control contrary to mission command philosophy, and option C is
incomplete as SOPs alone do not enable decentralized execution.
Q2. A Battalion Commander issues an order stating: "By 0600 tomorrow, secure the
bridge at grid AA123456 to enable follow-on forces to cross. If the bridge is destroyed,
establish a crossing site within 500 meters." This best exemplifies:
A. A fragmentary order
B. Commander's intent with an essential task and acceptable risk
,C. A warning order
D. A request for information
B. Commander's intent with an essential task and acceptable risk [CORRECT]
Rationale: The order provides the what (secure bridge), when (0600), and why (enable
follow-on forces), plus flexibility if conditions change—hallmarks of commander's intent.
A fragmentary order (A) modifies existing orders, a warning order (C) precedes detailed
planning, and an RFI (D) requests information rather than directing action.
Q3. The six warfighting functions are Mission Command, Movement and Maneuver,
Intelligence, Fires, Sustainment, and:
A. Communications
B. Protection
C. Information Operations
D. Engineering
B. Protection [CORRECT]
Rationale: The six warfighting functions established in doctrine are: Mission Command,
Movement and Maneuver, Intelligence, Fires, Sustainment, and Protection. Protection
includes safety, fratricide prevention, survivability, air and missile defense, CBRN, and
operational security. Communications and engineering are capabilities, not warfighting
functions.
Q4. During an attack, the commander tasks the Fires Cell to engage known enemy
positions while the maneuver force advances. This integration of Fires and Movement
and Maneuver warfighting functions demonstrates:
A. Unity of effort
B. Combined arms
C. Economy of force
D. Both A and B
,D. Both A and B [CORRECT]
Rationale: Combined arms is the synchronized application of different warfighting
functions (fires + maneuver) to achieve complementary effects. Unity of effort ensures
all elements work toward common objectives. Economy of force (C) refers to allocating
minimum essential combat power to secondary efforts, not the integration itself.
Q5. A company commander receives an OPORD from higher headquarters but realizes
the tactical situation has changed significantly. Under Mission Command philosophy,
the commander should:
A. Execute the order exactly as written regardless of changes
B. Use disciplined initiative to adapt actions within the commander's intent and inform
higher headquarters
C. Wait for new orders before taking any action
D. Modify the mission without informing higher headquarters
B. Use disciplined initiative to adapt actions within the commander's intent and inform
higher headquarters [CORRECT]
Rationale: Mission Command empowers disciplined initiative—subordinates taking
action within commander's intent when situations change. Option A violates adaptive
leadership, option C wastes critical time, and option D fails to maintain mutual trust
through communication.
Q6. The Operations Process consists of four major activities: Plan, Prepare, Execute,
and:
A. Analyze
B. Assess
C. Review
D. Report
B. Assess [CORRECT]
, Rationale: The Operations Process (ADP 5-0) consists of Plan, Prepare, Execute, and
Assess. Assessment is continuous and drives adaptation. Analysis occurs within
planning, review is informal, and reporting is a communication function—not core
activities of the operations process.
Q7. A commander emphasizes that subordinates must understand not just what to do,
but why they are doing it. This reflects which principle of Mission Command?
A. Build cohesive teams through mutual trust
B. Create shared understanding
C. Provide clear commander's intent
D. Accept prudent risk
C. Provide clear commander's intent [CORRECT]
Rationale: Commander's intent provides purpose (why), key tasks (what), and end state,
enabling subordinates to exercise initiative. While shared understanding (B) is
important, the emphasis on "why" specifically reflects commander's intent. Mutual trust
(A) and prudent risk (D) are separate principles.
Q8. Which warfighting function is primarily responsible for generating and applying
combat power to destroy or defeat enemy forces?
A. Sustainment
B. Fires
C. Movement and Maneuver
D. Intelligence
C. Movement and Maneuver [CORRECT]
Rationale: Movement and Maneuver is the warfighting function that positions forces to
gain advantage and applies combat power through direct engagement. Fires (B)
