Which data element contains movement data used to support deployment planning within JPEE/DCAPES?

• A. Time Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD)
• B. The Manpower and Equipment Force Packages (MEFPAK)
• C. Unit Type Code (UTC)
• D. BSP/ESP

Answer: (B)

Movement data used to support deployment planning within JPEE/DCAPES is contained in the Manpower and Equipment Force Packages. MEFPAK defines standardized force packages—the exact mix and quantities of personnel and equipment needed for a given operation. Planners use these packaged resources to determine what must move, how much of it is required, and when, providing the concrete data that feed deployment plans. While Unit Type Codes describe the makeup of units and TPFDD carries the time-phased movement schedule, MEFPAK supplies the actual manpower and equipment data that drive those movements. BSP/ESP relate to base and expeditionary site planning rather than movement data itself.
