In the FAD IV entry, which choice is correct?

• A. Active Duty Army
• B. National Guard
• C. U.S. Army Reserve
• D. Air National Guard

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is recognizing which Army component is tied to FAD IV entries in this context. The National Guard is the correct answer because FAD IV entries are associated with the National Guard’s state-based, dual-state/federal mission. When not activated for federal service, National Guard units operate under state authority and keep records within that structure; this contrasts with Active Duty Army, which follows a strictly federal chain of command, and the U.S. Army Reserve, which is federally controlled military reserve rather than state-focused. The Air National Guard is the air force component and not the Army’s field operations. So the National Guard best fits the scenario described by FAD IV.
