J3 is associated with which function?

• A. Ops
• B. Intel
• C. Plans
• D. Logistics

Answer: (A)

J3 represents the Operations function. The directorate focuses on current and contingency operations, mission execution, and the day-to-day synchronization of forces to achieve objectives. It coordinates closely with intelligence (J2) to understand the situation, with logistics (J4) to ensure movement and sustainment, and with plans (J5) for future campaigns and long-range planning. Plans addresses future objectives and campaigns, not the near-term execution that J3 handles, while Intel and Logistics cover intelligence and sustainment respectively.
