Which of the following lists all and only Functional Commands?

• A. Transportation, Strategic, Special Operations, Cyber
• B. North, South, Central, Africa
• C. European, Indo-Pacific, Space, Africa
• D. Transportation, Cyber, Special Operations, Africa

Answer: (A)

Functional commands are unified commands organized by a specific mission across the entire globe, not tied to one region. They focus on doing a particular function—like moving the force, deterring globally, conducting specialized missions, or managing cyber operations—across all theaters. The four that fit this pattern are Transportation Command (global movement of people and supplies), Strategic Command (global strategic deterrence and related capabilities), Special Operations Command (special operations forces under a single unified command), and Cyber Command (coordinating cyber operations and defense). Other options mix in geographic regions (like Africa or Indo-Pacific) or domains not listed as functional commands, so they aren’t the set of all and only functional commands.
