Which item is not listed as part of the BRO big 9?

• A. Orders/Military Decision Making Process (MDMP)
• B. Pre Combat Checks (PCC) and Pre Combat Inspections (PCI)
• C. Re-supply and MEDEVAC
• D. Communications Security (COMSEC)

Answer: (D)

This question tests understanding of what the BRO big 9 covers in terms of battlefield readiness. The BRO big 9 include planning and decision-making activities, like Orders and the Military Decision Making Process, which guide how a mission is approached; and readiness checks like Pre Combat Checks and Pre Combat Inspections, which ensure people and equipment are prepared before action. They also include logistics and medical readiness, such as Re-supply and MEDEVAC, which keep the unit supplied and able to evacuate casualties as needed.

Communications Security is focused on protecting the security and integrity of communications and cryptographic materials. While crucial, it’s categorized under security and communications practices rather than the BRO big 9 elements themselves. Therefore, it is not listed as part of the BRO big 9.
