Which factor is NOT part of threat prioritization in CIC?

• A. Crew experience
• B. Immediacy, lethality, and mission impact
• C. Threat level
• D. Higher command guidance

Answer: (A)

Threat prioritization in the CIC is about ranking threats based on factors that drive urgency and risk: immediacy tells you how soon a threat could affect you, lethality estimates how much damage it could do, and mission impact assesses how crucial stopping that threat is to your objectives. The current threat level provides a snapshot of overall danger, and higher command guidance sets the overarching priorities you should follow. Crew experience, while it can influence how well the crew executes procedures, is not used to determine the ranking of threats. It doesn’t change how imminent or lethal a threat appears, though it may affect response quality once a target is engaged.
