TPFDD stands for which system that contains time-phased force data, cargo and personnel data, and movement data?

• A. Joint Operation Planning & Execution System that contains time-phased force data, cargo and personnel data, and movement data for the operational plan
• B. Time-Phased Force Data
• C. Plan for deployment of resources
• D. Tasking Plan for Force Data

Answer: (A)

This question tests how the TPFDD relates to the planning system and what data it includes. TPFDD is a data component used within the Joint Operation Planning & Execution System (JOPES). It contains time-phased force data, cargo and personnel data, and movement data that are needed to plan and execute the deployment of forces and resources for the operation.

Choosing the Joint Operation Planning & Execution System is the best answer because it identifies the actual system that houses the Time-Phased Force Deployment Data and the specific data elements—time-phased force, cargo/personnel, and movement data—that drive the operational plan. The other options either name the data or describe something non-specific or incorrect, and do not reflect the system that contains this integrated data for planning.
