Which statement best describes the time-based data included in the TPFDD?

• A. Time-based data includes mission objectives and constraints
• B. Time-based data tracks only personnel arrival times
• C. Time-based data tracks only cargo movement
• D. Contains time-phased force data, non-unit related cargo, personnel data, and movement data

Answer: (D)

Time-based data in the TPFDD shows when each part of the force, along with its supporting cargo and personnel, will deploy and how they will move. It captures the time-phased force data, non-unit related cargo, personnel data, and movement data so that arrival times, lift requirements, routes, and sequencing are all coordinated across the entire deployment. This scope is why the option that includes all four elements—time-phased force data, non-unit cargo, personnel data, and movement data—is the best fit. The other statements miss parts of the picture, focusing only on objectives/constraints or on a single resource type, which does not reflect the full time-based data used to plan deployments.
