Study Questions and Answers 2024
FUN-104, SOB 1a: Define command. -Correct Answer ✔Authority that a commander in
the armed forces lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of rank or assignment.

FUN-104, SOB 1b: Identify the principle of unity of command. -Correct Answer ✔All
forces operate under a single commander with the requisite authority to direct all forces
employed in pursuit of a common purpose.

FUN-104, SOB 2a: Define the four command relationship levels of authority (COCOM,
OPCON, TACON, and Support). -Correct Answer ✔- COCOM: the command authority
over assigned forces vested only in CCDRs by Title 10, USC or as directed by the
President in the Unified Command Plan (UCP) and cannot be delegated or transferred.
It is the authority to perform those functions of command involving organizing and
employing commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving
authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations, joint training, and logistics
necessary to accomplish the missions assigned to the command.

- OPCON: a transferable command authority, inherent in COCOM, to perform those
functions of command over subordinate forces involving organizing and employing
commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative
direction over all aspects of military operations and joint training necessary to
accomplish the mission. OPCON normally provides full authority to organize commands
and forces and employ those forces, but it does not include authoritative direction for
logistics or matters of administration, discipline, internal organization, or unit training.

- TACON: a transferable command authority, inherent in OPCON, over assigned or
attached forces or commands, or military capability or forces made available for tasking.
The authority is limited to the detailed direction and control of movements or maneuvers
within the Operational Area (OA) necessary to accomplish assigned missions or tasks.

- Support: a command authority established by a superior commander between
subordinate commanders when one organization should aid, protect, complement, or
sustain another force. The designation of supporting relationships is important as it
conveys priorities to commanders and staffs that are planning or executing joint
operations.

FUN-104, SOB 2b: Define the additional levels of authority (ADCON, coordinating
authority, DIRLAUTH). -Correct Answer ✔- ADCON: the direction or exercise of
authority over subordinate or other organizations with respect to administration and
support including organization of Service forces, control of resources and equipment,
personnel management, unit logistics, individual and unit training, readiness,

mobilization, demobilization, discipline, and other matters not included in the operational
missions of the subordinate or other organizations.

- Coordinating Authority: Authority delegated to a commander or individual for
coordinating specific functions and activities involving forces of two or more Services,
two or more joint force components, or two or more forces of the same Service. The
commander or individual has the authority to require consultation between the agencies
involved, but does not have the authority to compel agreement.

- DIRLAUTH: that authority granted by a commander (at any level) to a subordinate to
directly consult or coordinate an action with a command or agency within or outside the
granting command. It is more applicable to planning than operations, and always carries
with it the requirement of keeping the granting commander informed. DIRLAUTH is a
coordination relationship, not an authority through which command may be exercised.
(JP-1, p V-12, para 9.c.)

FUN-104, SOB 3a: Identify the levels of authority normally exercised by the
COMAFFOR. -Correct Answer ✔OPCON & ADCON

✔- Alliance: the relationship that results from a formal agreement (e.g. treaty) between
two or more nations for broad, long-term objectives that further the common interests of
the members.

- Coalition: an ad hoc arrangement between two or more nations for common action.
Coalitions are formed by different nations, often with different objectives, usually for a
single occasion or for a longer period while addressing a narrow sector of common
interest.

FUN-105, SOB 1c: Describe the three basic command structure models. -Correct
Answer ✔- Parallel Command Structure: Each coalition member has its own command
chain, working in parallel with the other members' chains through some kind of
coordination center. Because no single force commander is designated, this structure
violates the principle of unity of command.

- Lead-nation Command Structure: Exists when one nation, usually the one with the
preponderance of assets and Command and Control (C2) capability, is responsible for
the direction and synchronization of MNFs, each one of which is commanded by its own
commander.
