Which of the following is one of the three primary tasks to integrate all military functions during mission command warfighting functions?

• A. Drive the operations process
• B. Plan logistics
• C. Coordinate air support
• D. Engage the enemy

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that integrating all military functions under mission command is done by driving the operations process. This process—planning, preparing, executing, and assessing—provides the framework to synchronize movement and maneuver, intelligence, fires, sustainment, protection, and mission command across the force. By actively leading this process, the commander ensures actions are coordinated, decisions are fast, and shared understanding is maintained, enabling the whole team to act as a unified whole.

Plan logistics, coordinate air support, and engage the enemy are important activities within specific functions (sustainment, fires/air operations, and direct action, respectively). They are necessary parts of operations, but they are not the overarching mechanism described for integrating all warfighting functions—driving the operations process is what ties everything together.
