Under high-alert state, if the repair can be performed online while the unit operates, which decision is appropriate?

• A. Must Fix
• B. Decision Required
• C. Fight, Fix Later
• D. Fight While Fix

Answer: (D)

Under high-alert tension, if the repair can be done online without taking the unit offline, you keep fighting while you fix. This approach preserves mission readiness by eliminating downtime and maintaining operational tempo, which is crucial when threats are present and the unit needs to stay engaged. If you stopped to fix, or waited to fix later, you’d sacrifice capability and momentum, potentially widening the gap to respond to ongoing conditions. So performing the repair online while continuing to operate—ensuring the fix is safe to implement without introducing new risks—is the best course.
