Which of the following is a Special Category of PRC?

• A. Dislocated Civilian (DC) Operations
• B. Humanitarian Airlift Coordination
• C. Coastal Resource Management
• D. Economic Stabilization

Answer: (A)

Dislocated Civilian Operations are designated as a Special Category because they specifically address civilians who have been displaced by conflict or disaster and require a targeted package of protection, shelter, relocation, and relief coordination. This focus on the needs and rights of displaced people, and the tailored response it demands (partnering with humanitarian actors, ensuring essential services, and planning for orderly return or relocation), sets it apart from other areas that deal with more general CA functions. The other options describe important activities—logistics for humanitarian airlift, environmental/resource management, and macroeconomic stabilization—that do not constitute a special displacement-focused category within PRC.
