Complete the sentence: The annual number of informal inspections is determined by ...

• A. The training officer
• B. The legal advisor
• C. The unit commander
• D. The logistics officer

Answer: (C)

The unit commander is responsible for setting the unit’s overall schedule and priorities, including how often informal inspections occur. This authority ensures the cadence of inspections aligns with mission readiness, safety, and discipline, and it can be adjusted based on risk, resources, and current objectives. While the training officer, legal advisor, or logistics officer may contribute input or participate in inspections, they don’t determine the total annual count; that decision rests with the commander who owns the unit’s program and policy implementation.
