The mission command concept is associated with which OPORD section?

• A. Command and Signal
• B. Execution
• C. Logistics
• D. Intelligence

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is that mission command relies on the command and control framework outlined in the Command and Signal portion of an OPORD. This section sets out who commands whom, how units will communicate, and the control measures that keep actions aligned with the commander's intent. That structure enables subordinate leaders to exercise initiative and make decisions at appropriate levels while staying synchronized with the overall plan. The other sections describe tasks to be performed (Execution), sustainment (Logistics), and information about the enemy and environment (Intelligence), but they do not establish the command relationships and communications essential to mission command.
