Which functional area is A4? (alternate wording)

• A. Plans and Requirements
• B. Installations & Mission Support
• C. Communications
• D. Logistics

Answer: (D)

A4 is about ensuring the force has what it needs to operate and stay ready. Logistics covers the provisioning, maintenance, and movement of people, equipment, and supplies, plus the systems and processes that keep cyber operations up and running. In practice, that means planning purchases and rentals, managing inventories and spares, coordinating maintenance and repairs, and arranging transport and deployment of personnel and gear. This focus on sustaining operations and the flow of resources is what ties A4 to Logistics. The other areas center on planning and requirements, base infrastructure and support, or network and communications systems, not the end-to-end readiness and supply chain that Logistics handles.
