Which SMEAC section covers command and signals?

• A. Situation
• B. Mission
• C. Execution
• D. Command & Signals

Answer: (D)

Command and Signals is the section that specifies who commands the unit and how it communicates. It includes the chain of command, location of the command post, and the communications plan—radio frequencies, call signs, signals, and procedures for establishing contact or changing signals if needed. This information ensures orders come from the right person and that everyone knows how to stay in touch, even if primary channels are disrupted. The other sections describe what needs to be done (Situation and Mission) and how to execute it (Execution), but they don’t lay out who has command authority or the detailed communications plan. That’s why this is the best choice.
