J/G/S-5 covers which function?

• A. Plans: General war, contingency, and Forces planning. Joint policy and doctrine. ROE.
• B. Public Affairs
• C. Health services
• D. Legal matters

Answer: (A)

The function being tested is planning and policy. J/G/S-5 is the Plans and Policy element, responsible for developing long-range plans for general war, contingencies, and force structure, as well as crafting joint policy and doctrine, including rules of engagement. This role ensures that how forces would operate in major and potential crisis situations is coordinated and governed by consistent policy across services. Public Affairs, Health services, and Legal matters handle separate domains—information/public communication, medical support, and legal issues, respectively—so they are not the planning and policy hub.
