Which of the following is one of the seven joint functions?

• A. Logistics
• B. Medical Support
• C. Command and Control (C2)
• D. Public Affairs

Answer: (C)

Command and Control is one of the seven joint functions. In joint doctrine, operations are built around seven universal capability areas that must be integrated across all services. Command and Control covers the leadership, authority, decision-making, and the communication systems used to direct forces and synchronize actions. It provides the framework that links intelligence, fires, movement and maneuver, protection, sustainment, and information so they work together toward the mission. Without effective C2, other functions—even when strong on their own—cannot be coordinated into a unified effort.

Logistics and Medical Support are parts of Sustainment, which handles logistics, health support, maintenance, and related tasks. Public Affairs is part of Information, which deals with how the force communicates with audiences and manages information.
