Sustainment in Unified Land Operations links which levels via a continuous interoperable network?

• A. Strategic and Tactical levels
• B. Operational and Tactical levels
• C. Strategic, Operational, and Tactical levels
• D. All four levels including strategic, operational, tactical, and administrative

Answer: (C)

Sustainment in Unified Land Operations is tied together by a continuous interoperable network that connects strategic, operational, and tactical levels, enabling seamless planning, visibility, and delivery across the force. At the strategic level, resources, policy, and distribution priorities set the overarching sustainment posture and long-range distribution. The operational level translates those priorities into theater plans, coordinating across campaigns, lines of effort, and multiple sustainment functions to support broader objectives. The tactical level implements the plan with actual unit resupply, maintenance, and services in the field, relying on real-time data from the network to prevent shortages and adapt to changing conditions. This continuous flow ensures strategic intents become coordinated actions and, ultimately, on-the-ground support for units. The administrative dimension exists as part of support processes, but the enduring link across the main decision-making and execution threads is among strategic, operational, and tactical levels.
