Which of the following is NOT listed as a component of a Civil Affairs Team?

• A. Infantry Squad Leader
• B. Medic
• C. TL
• D. Team SGT

Answer: (A)

Understanding who makes up a Civil Affairs Team helps you see why an Infantry Squad Leader isn’t a listed component. A CA Team is built around leadership and functional roles needed to carry out civil affairs tasks: a Team Leader guides the mission, a Team Sergeant provides noncommissioned leadership and support, and a Medic offers medical care and medical readiness on the ground. An Infantry Squad Leader is a leadership position within an infantry squad, part of an infantry unit rather than a Civil Affairs Team roster. Because of that, it wouldn’t be listed as a component of a CA Team, while the Team Leader, Team Sergeant, and Medic are appropriate, standard roles in the team.
