Nurture the Living includes developing and executing a RS plan to strengthen and sustain which group?

• A. Soldiers and family members
• B. Host nation leaders
• C. Unit leadership
• D. External contractors

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that sustaining a unit starts with caring for the people who carry the load every day—the soldiers and their families. A RS plan that aims to strengthen and sustain the living focuses on the welfare, resilience, and readiness of those directly connected to the mission: the service members and the people who support them at home. When soldiers have solid support systems—family readiness programs, access to resources, and proactive outreach—they stay more resilient, perform better, and are more likely to remain committed and capable under stress. So the intended focus is on strengthening these individuals and their immediate support network.

Hosts nation leaders, unit leadership, or external contractors aren’t the primary recipients of this particular nurturing effort, because the concept centers on the people who actually sustain day-to-day readiness and continuity—the soldiers and their families.
