Which control is primarily administrative and does not provide control of the unit's mission?

• A. OPCON
• B. TACON
• C. Logistics Control
• D. ADCON

Answer: (D)

ADCON governs the administrative side of a unit—things like personnel, training, discipline, administration, and day-to-day support—without giving authority over how the unit conducts its missions. The mission and how to accomplish it come from OPCON or TACON, which provide operational or tactical direction for tasks and deployments. So, while higher commands can direct what needs to be done tactically or operationally, ADCON handles the admin and support that keep the unit ready and equipped. That’s why this control is the best fit for a primarily administrative, non-mission-controlling role.
