The expeditionary site survey process is broken down into three phases. What are they?

• A. Pre-Site Survey, Site Survey, Post-Site Survey
• B. Planning, Execution, Review
• C. Initiation, Development, Deployment
• D. Discovery, Assessment, Deployment

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is a clear, field-oriented workflow for conducting an expeditionary site survey, broken into three concrete phases: preparation before you go, the actual surveying in the field, and follow-up after you return. This structure matches how field work is typically organized.

Before you head out, you scope the mission, gather requirements, secure access and permissions, check safety considerations, and assemble the needed gear and data plans. This is the Pre-Site Survey. It sets up everything you’ll need to collect reliable data and ensures you know what success looks like for the survey.

Then you conduct the Site Survey, which is the hands-on data collection phase. Here you perform measurements, observations, and recordings at the site, following the plan established in the preparation stage. The focus is on gathering accurate, field-verified information.

After the data is collected, you move into the Post-Site Survey. This phase involves processing and analyzing the data, compiling findings, creating reports or maps, and communicating recommendations or next steps. It closes the loop by turning raw field data into usable insights.

The other options describe generic project stages or use different terms that don’t align with the explicit three-phase site survey naming, and they miss the emphasis on the actual site survey in the middle stage. The naming Pre-Site Survey, Site Survey, and Post-Site Survey precisely captures the sequence and activities of this process.
