Which item is NOT a function of Joint Fire Support?

• A. Sustain JFS ops
• B. Coordinate logistics for ground infantry supply lines
• C. Integrate and synchronize fires and airspace
• D. Support CONOPS

Answer: (B)

The main concept being tested is what Joint Fire Support actually does—the functions that plan, coordinate, and execute fires in support of the operation, while staying integrated with airspace and the overall CONOPS. Joint Fire Support is responsible for sustaining its own operations, weaving fires together with airspace and other fires, and ensuring those fires align with and support the commander's concept of operations. Coordinating logistics for ground infantry supply lines falls outside this scope; that work is a sustainment and logistics function, focused on moving troops, equipment, and supplies, not on planning or delivering fires. So while logistics support is essential to the broader mission, it’s not a duty of Joint Fire Support.
