FTCP is responsible for direct coordination between which two units?

• A. Maneuver BN and BSB
• B. Maneuver BN and Division Support Group
• C. S1 and S4
• D. FSC and HHC

Answer: (C)

The thing this item is testing is who the FTCP connects directly in the unit staff. The FTCP serves as the coordination link between the S1 and S4, the personnel and logistics staffs. S1 handles manpower, personnel actions, substitutions, rotations, and related HR issues, while S4 handles supply, maintenance, transportation, and all other logistics support. Bringing these two together lets the unit ensure that manpower needs are feasible given available logistics and that plans for staffing match the resources to support them. If more troops are required for a mission, S1 identifies how many and who is available, and S4 confirms that transport, equipment, and supplies can be provided to support those personnel changes. Other pairings don’t involve the same direct, day-to-day coordination between personnel and sustainment, so they’re not the FTCP’s focus.
