Which statement best defines Establish?

• A. A unit is established once the commander employs all capability and can effectively execute the units assigned or doctrinal mission and key tasks
• B. A unit is established after the area is secured
• C. A unit is established only when it receives the mission orders
• D. A unit is established when it is positioned in the area

Answer: (A)

Establishing a unit means it has reached a state of readiness where the commander has integrated and employed all its capabilities so the unit can effectively execute its assigned mission and key tasks. In this condition, command and control, communications, logistics, firepower, movement, protection, and sustainment are synchronized, allowing the unit to perform as planned in the doctrinal mission. This goes beyond simply being in a location, securing an area, or having received orders. Those are steps or states along the way, but establishment is about the unit being able to conduct operations with all essential capabilities working together to accomplish its tasks.
