Which of the following is a TD action?

• A. Overall equipment status of the Battalion
• B. Apparent residual air defense capabilities of the Battery
• C. Tactical situation and the BN's need for the subject Battery's residual capability to support the tactical situation
• D. Review the Fix or Fight decision from the BN CDR's perspective

Answer: (A)

TD actions focus on tracking and managing the unit’s equipment status and readiness. The Battalion’s overall equipment status provides the current, concrete data on what gear is serviceable, available, and ready to fight, which is essential for deciding if the unit can keep its mission on track or if maintenance, resupply, or substitutions are needed. This direct link to the unit’s actual operating capability is what makes it a TD action.

The other items involve evaluating how much capability the unit has in a tactical sense or reviewing decisions from a commander’s perspective, which are planning or decision-support tasks rather than the status-and-readiness data that defines a TD action.
