For organizing, training, equipping, preparing, and maintaining military forces, which command is responsible?

• A. Joint Operations
• B. Service and US Special Ops Command
• C. Financial NSS
• D. Intelligence NSS

Answer: (B)

Responsibility for organizing, training, equipping, preparing, and maintaining the armed forces rests with the Services and with the United States Special Operations Command. Each service handles its own force generation and readiness, while USSOCOM oversees the special operations forces across the services. Joint Operations focuses on planning and conducting operations, not on building and sustaining the entire force, and Financial NSS and Intelligence NSS are not commands charged with force readiness. So, Service commands together with USSOCOM is the correct responsibility.
