Which operational concept employs multi-capable Airmen to support JADO's goals?

• A. Integrated Air and Space Strategy
• B. Stand-Alone Operations
• C. Agile Combat Employment (ACE)
• D. Traditional Base Operations

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is ACE—a way of organizing and employing airpower that relies on airmen who are cross-trained to perform multiple roles and to operate from dispersed, austere locations. This enables agile, resilient operations where manpower and capabilities can be shifted quickly to where they are needed, without being tied to large, fixed bases. In a Joint All-Domain Operations framework, ACE supports speed, redundancy, and adaptability across air, cyber, space, and land domains by having teams that can fuse planning, maintenance, security, and combat tasks on the move. Dispersed basing and rapid reconstitution are built in, so even if some sites are denied or attacked, the overall operation maintains tempo and effectiveness. The other options describe broader strategies or traditional basing concepts that don’t emphasize cross-trained personnel or dispersed, rapid action to the same extent, which is why ACE best fits the idea of using multi-capable Airmen to advance JADO goals.
