Army Basic Training Practice Test

Which of the following is listed in the Chain of Command?

The Army Chief of Staff Squadron Commander City Mayor Chief Justice

Correct Answer:

The Army Chief of Staff

Explanation:

The main idea here is who sits in the formal line of authority for the Army. The Army Chief of Staff is the senior uniformed officer in the Army and is a key link in the chain of command, directing the Army’s overall readiness, organization, and operations through to the lower levels. That makes this role the best fit for being listed in the chain of command. A squadron commander is a unit-level commander, who leads a specific unit within the Army. While they do exercise command within their unit, they’re not the overarching Army-wide link in the chain. A city mayor and a chief justice are civilian positions outside the military chain of command, belonging to other branches of government or the judiciary, not the Army’s hierarchical structure.
