Modified Mission R maps to which capability?

• A. Weather
• B. Utility
• C. Reconnaissance
• D. Attack

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that the “R” in Mission R signals a focus on gathering information about the operating environment. Reconnaissance is all about observing, detecting, and reporting on conditions, threats, or features of the airfield and surrounding area. A modified version of Mission R would be tailored toward collecting and conveying this intelligence, rather than performing meteorological work (weather), providing general support services (utility), or carrying out offensive actions against targets (attack). Weather involves forecasting and sensing atmospheric conditions; utility covers logistical and support functions; attack is armed action against targets. Since the goal of a modified Mission R is information gathering and situational awareness, reconnaissance is the best fit.
