Which of the following is NOT a CA functional specialty area?

• A. Security
• B. Governance and Participation
• C. Engineering
• D. Justice and Reconciliation

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is which areas Civil Affairs structures its work around in terms of functional specialties during stabilization and governance operations. Among the options, engineering isn’t one of those CA functional specialty areas. Civil Affairs focuses on shaping governance and public participation, ensuring security for civilians, and advancing justice and reconciliation to restore social order after conflict. Engineering, while important in its own right for building infrastructure or supporting technical tasks, is a technical discipline rather than a CA functional specialty. CA teams collaborate with engineers, but the official CA categories center on governance, security, and justice, not engineering.
