balancing current and future needs with resource constraints
 D) The process of developing and approving new organizational

3. Which of the following is NOT a power that Congress holds over
the Department of Defense?
 A) Organizing the military
 B) Funding the military
 C) Commanding forces in combat
 D) Providing oversight
Rationale: Congress has the constitutional authority to organize,
fund, and provide oversight of the military. The President, as
Commander-in-Chief, commands forces in combat, not
Congress. Congress does not command forces in combat.
4. According to Title 10, Section 7013, the Secretary of the Army
(SECARMY) must perform all of the following functions EXCEPT:
 A) Recruiting and organizing
 B) Supplying and equipping
 C) Directing tactical operations in the field

Rationale: Title 10, Section 7013 lists 12 functions of the
SECARMY, including recruiting, organizing, supplying,
training, servicing, mobilizing, demobilizing, maintaining,
equipping, administering, and construction/repair. Directing

tactical operations is the responsibility of operational
commanders, not the SECARMY.
5. Which of the following BEST describes Administrative Control
(ADCON)?
 A) A command relationship that allows a commander to exercise
full authority over assigned forces
 B) An authority/relationship that the Army retains when units
are assigned to a combatant commander; it is NOT a command
relationship
 C) The authority of a combatant commander to organize and
employ forces
 D) The relationship between a unit and its supporting installation
Rationale: ADCON is the authority/relationship that the Army
retains when units are assigned to a combatant commander. It is
NOT a command (C2) relationship. ADCON is an authority, not
a command relationship.
6. A Field Operating Agency (FOA) is BEST described as which of
the following?
 A) A major command responsible for generating and preparing
forces for combatant commands

Army and performs a specific mission
 C) An organization that performs specific functions for the
Army outside the structure of an Army Command
 D) A command that serves as the Army component for a
combatant command
Rationale: FOAs are one of the four types of Army organizations
that perform specific functions for the Army. They are not major

commands like ACOMs, nor are they the Army component for a
combatant command (ASCC).

combat
 D) The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has exclusive

role is to organize, train, and equip forces (Title 10 functions),
while operational control is exercised by combatant commanders
through their Army Service Component Commands (ASCCs).

responsible for generating readiness to meet global demand?
 A) Army Futures Command
