B. Tactical Operations Center (TOC)
C. Command Post Officer
D. Operations Group

Answer 1

The Command Post Officer is part of the MAJCOM and works under the Director of Staff or Director of Operations (A3), overseeing various branches of the U.S. armed forces and reflecting modern military staff organization which separates general staff military planning from political leadership. The option (C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Command Post Officer is organized as a staff agency under the Major Command (MAJCOM) commander and is typically administratively aligned under the Director of Staff or Director of Operations (A3). In this role, the Command Post Officer oversees the many elements of the U.S. armed forces, including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. Their responsibilities have evolved with military tactics and planning becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Dating back to the early twentieth century, military planning has been in the hands of the general staff, differentiated from the political leaders who earlier may have led troops themselves. In contemporary times, the White House staff, including the national security advisor, director of the CIA, and the director of national intelligence, work closely with the president on matters of foreign policy and intelligence, with parallel structural leadership evident in military organizations. Therefore, option (C) is correct.
