Which of the following describes a direct consequence of uncertain or unavailable support?

• A. The plan may be infeasible due to lack of personnel or logistics.
• B. The plan will always succeed regardless of support.
• C. The plan is independent of support.
• D. The plan will be canceled automatically.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that uncertain or unavailable support directly affects whether a plan can actually be carried out. If you can’t guarantee enough personnel or the necessary logistics to sustain the operation, the plan becomes infeasible. You need a certain level of manpower, equipment, fuel, maintenance, medical support, and other logistics to execute tasks on schedule and to sustain operations over time. When any of that support is not reliably available, you can’t confidently meet your mission requirements, timelines, or force capabilities, so you must expect that the plan may not be doable as written.

That’s why this option best captures the reality: lack of guaranteed support undermines feasibility. The other ideas don’t fit because a plan is not guaranteed to succeed without support, it isn’t independent of support, and it isn’t automatically canceled—though it may require adjustments, contingencies, or even cancellation if critical support cannot be secured.
