, SECTION I — FORCE MANAGEMENT & INTEGRATION Questions 1 – 42
1. Differentiate the roles of HQDA G-3/5/7 and HQDA G-1 in manning an organization.
A. HQDA G-3/5/7 identifies how many spaces (authorizations) an organization has; HQDA G-1
provides the faces (personnel) to fill the spaces
B. HQDA G-1 identifies spaces; HQDA G-3/5/7 provides faces
C. Both identify spaces and faces equally
D. Neither is involved in manning organizations
CORRECT ANSWER A — HQDA G-3/5/7 identifies how many spaces (authorizations) an
organization has; HQDA G-1 provides the faces (personnel) to fill the spaces
RATIONALE HQDA G-3/5/7 identifies the number of spaces (authorizations) an organization
has through the force management process. HQDA G-1 provides the faces
(personnel) to fill those spaces through personnel management. This is a key
distinction in Army force management.
2. FORSCOM (the Army's force provider) follows ________, the model used to generate
readiness to meet global demand while providing time for organizations to modernize.
A. Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model (ReARMM)
B. Global Force Management (GFM)
C. Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN)
D. Readiness Sustainment Model (RSM)
CORRECT ANSWER A — Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model (ReARMM)
RATIONALE FORSCOM follows the Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model
(ReARMM), which generates readiness to meet global demand while providing
time for organizations to modernize. This model replaced ARFORGEN.
, 3. ________ readiness prioritizes the readiness of specific units to keep them at high levels
of readiness; __________ readiness rotates which units are prioritized to build readiness
at the time of need (employment).
A. Tiered; cyclic
B. Cyclic; tiered
C. Strategic; operational
D. Operational; strategic
CORRECT ANSWER A — Tiered; cyclic
RATIONALE Tiered readiness prioritizes the readiness of specific units to keep them at high
levels of readiness. Cyclic readiness rotates which units are prioritized to build
readiness at the time of need (employment). Both approaches serve different
purposes in force management.
4. What is an example of the Army considering Force Integration early in the development of
a new capability?
A. Force Integration Functional Area (FIFA) analysis before approving a Force Design Update
B. Conducting a DOTMLPF-P analysis after fielding
C. Acquiring new equipment without considering organizational impact
D. Waiting until after fielding to integrate new capabilities
CORRECT ANSWER A — Force Integration Functional Area (FIFA) analysis before approving a
Force Design Update
RATIONALE The Army considers Force Integration early by conducting Force Integration
Functional Area (FIFA) analysis before approving a Force Design Update. This
ensures integration considerations are addressed early in the capability
development process.
