What does the Sustainment paragraph explain?

• A. Mission objectives
• B. Anything that is needed to complete the mission
• C. Commander's Intent
• D. Communication plan

Answer: (B)

Sustainment focuses on keeping the force supplied and supported so the mission can be carried out. It lays out what logistics and support are necessary to keep the operation going—things like fuel, ammunition, supplies, maintenance, transportation, medical care, and services—along with who provides them, when they’re needed, and how they’re delivered. In other words, it answers what is needed to complete the mission in terms of resources, support, and continuity.

So this paragraph isn’t about the actual mission objectives, the overall end state (Commander's Intent), or how we communicate moves and plans. It’s about the logistics and services that enable the mission to happen. That’s why “anything that is needed to complete the mission” best fits the Sustainment paragraph.
