Which MAGTF element is responsible for sustainment, maintenance, supply, and field services?

• A. Logistics Combat Element
• B. Aviation Combat Element
• C. Ground Combat Element
• D. Command Element

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding which MAGTF element provides the logistics backbone for the force. The element responsible for sustainment, maintenance, supply, and field services is the Logistics Combat Element. This component is built to deliver all logistical support to the other MAGTF elements, handling things like supplying food, fuel, ammo, and parts; maintaining and repairing equipment; moving materiel and personnel; and providing field services necessary in the field. The Aviation Combat Element focuses on aircraft and air operations, the Ground Combat Element on infantry and ground maneuver, and the Command Element on leadership, planning, and command-and-control. So, for sustainment and logistics tasks, the Logistics Combat Element is the best fit.
