- A.
Having a joint perspective.
- B.
Conducting force shaping training.
- C.

B. Conducting force shaping training.Explanation
Competent joint war fighters need to possess a joint perspective, as it is crucial for effective coordination and collaboration among different branches of the military. They also need to be skilled in applying strategic and operational art, which involves understanding and implementing military strategies at both the strategic and operational levels. Additionally, they should be able to think strategically and optimize joint capabilities, which means making informed decisions to maximize the effectiveness of joint operations. However, conducting force shaping training is not necessarily a skill that joint war fighters need to possess, as it primarily involves the development and implementation of force structure plans, which is typically the responsibility of higher-level military leaders.Rate this question:

- A.
Programs.
- B.
Manpower.
- C.
Equipment.
- D.
Additional duties.
Correct Answer
B. Manpower.Explanation
During program budget decision (PBD) 720, the authorizations that were reduced to save money were related to manpower. This means that there were likely cuts in the number of personnel or staff members allocated to various programs or projects. By reducing manpower, organizations can lower their expenses on salaries, benefits, and other associated costs. This decision may have been made to address budget constraints or to optimize resource allocation in order to achieve cost savings.Rate this question:

- B.
Personnel service delivery memorandum (PSDM).
- C.
Base-level service delivery model (BLSDM).
- D.
Automated records management system (ARMS).
Correct Answer
C. Base-level service delivery model (BLSDM).Explanation
The correct answer is the Base-level service delivery model (BLSDM). This is because PBD 720 introduced the need for an immediate solution to enable the reduced personnel service providers at the base level to deliver quality service. The BLSDM is designed to provide a framework for delivering personnel services at the base level, ensuring efficient and effective service delivery to meet strategic goals. It is specifically mentioned as the Air Force interim solution in the given question.Rate this question:

- D.
An information technology (IT) solution provided to commanders to support their personnel needs.
Correct Answer
C. Decentralized CSS with the ability to provide fully trained personnelists within the existing MPF.Explanation
The correct answer is "Decentralized CSS with the ability to provide fully trained personnelists within the existing MPF." This option does not align with the three main components of the base-level service delivery model (BLSDM) mentioned in the other options. The three main components include a new organizational structure composed of existing MPF and CSS personnel, personnel assets that provide efficient base-level service through a learning organization, and an information technology solution provided to support personnel needs. Therefore, the option that mentions decentralized CSS with the ability to provide fully trained personnelists within the existing MPF is not one of the three main components of the BLSDM.Rate this question:
