Which ACE core element ensures supplies and logistics support?

• A. Sustainment
• B. Posture
• C. Command & Control
• D. Movement & Maneuver

Answer: (A)

Sustainment concentrates on providing the resources and services that keep a force operating. It covers supply distribution, maintenance and repair, transportation, medical support, and general services so that weapons, vehicles, fuel, food, and ammunition reach units when and where they’re needed. This ongoing support turns plans into action by preventing shortages, enabling continuous operations, and restoring capabilities after wear or damage. Movement and Maneuver is about how forces are deployed and positioned for action. Command & Control deals with decision-making and communication across the force. Posture relates to readiness and how forces present themselves for engagement. Among these, Sustainment is the element that guarantees the actual provisioning and logistics support necessary to sustain operations.
