Who coordinates air travel for deployments? What about for exercises?

• A. The base commander coordinates both; the IT team handles exercises
• B. LRS coordinates deployments; you coordinate exercises
• C. The local travel office handles deployments; the unit handles exercises
• D. LRS coordinates deployments; the unit coordinates exercises

Answer: (B)

Air travel coordination in Air Force units is divided by function: deployments are organized by the Logistics Readiness Squadron, which houses the Passenger Travel element responsible for arranging tickets, orders, and travel arrangements for deploying personnel. For exercises, the unit itself handles coordinating travel for participants, using its own exercise planning processes and points of contact. This split keeps deployment movement tightly managed by logistics specialists while exercise travel is planned and executed at the unit level. So the correct approach is that the LRS coordinates deployments, while the unit coordinates exercises. The other options don’t fit how the responsibilities are typically distributed: deployment travel isn’t managed by a base commander or IT team, and a local travel office isn’t the standard AF structure for deployments.
