What is the Primary value for the Air and Missile Defense Commander?

• A. Primary value is U
• B. Primary value is V
• C. Primary value is W
• D. Primary value is X

Answer: (C)

Think of the Primary value as the main lens through which the Air and Missile Defense Commander prioritizes actions and commands in this area. The AMDC’s job is to synchronize sensors, decision-making, and shooters to defeat air and missile threats and protect the fleet, preserving its freedom of action across the battlespace. That requires a relentless focus on warfighting—integrating information, making fast, decisive decisions, and delivering coordinated fires. The value that embodies this warfighting emphasis best captures the AMDC’s central role, making it the correct choice. The other values pertain to aspects not central to the AMDC’s primary mission.
