What are the two types of site survey teams?

• A. expeditionary site survey teams (ESSTs) and contingency site survey teams (CSST)
• B. field survey teams and operations survey teams
• C. regional survey teams and district survey teams
• D. core survey teams and adjunct survey teams

Answer: (A)

Two kinds of site survey teams are defined for operations: expeditionary site survey teams and contingency site survey teams. The expeditionary type is built to operate in forward, rapidly changing environments during deployments, gathering essential site data quickly so a base or project can proceed even with limited support. The contingency type is tailored for planned or potential crisis scenarios, ready to deploy on short notice to survey sites as part of contingency planning and rapid response, with pre-arranged capabilities and equipment. This framing aligns with AFCOMAC practice to distinguish between surveys conducted in austere, expeditionary contexts and those conducted under contingency planning. The other pairings use generic labels that don’t match the standard AFCOMAC terminology for site survey functions.
