Army responsibilities include which?

• A. Conduct air and space surveillance
• B. Protecting space assets
• C. Preparation of land forces necessary for the effective prosecution of war, and for the expansion of peacetime components to meet the needs of war.
• D. Diplomatic outreach

Answer: (C)

The Army’s job is to build and maintain land forces that can wage war and scale up to meet wartime needs. This means training, equipping, organizing, and deploying units, and mobilizing reserves so peacetime forces can expand to the levels required during conflict. The other areas—air and space surveillance and protection of space assets—are primarily handled by the Air Force and Space Force, while diplomatic outreach is a function of civilian leadership and the State Department.
