Which duty is responsible for supervising the security force, maintaining order, carrying out the Plan of the Day, and ensuring the health, welfare, and safety of staff members and prisoners?

• A. Supervising the security force, maintaining good order and discipline, carrying out the Plan of the Day, and ensuring the health, welfare, and safety of staff members and prisoners
• B. Providing counseling to prisoners
• C. Conducting investigations into UCMJ violations
• D. Managing motorcade pace

Answer: (A)

The task described is the responsibility of the Master-at-Arms. This role serves as the security chief, overseeing the entire security force, maintaining order and discipline, and ensuring the Plan of the Day is carried out each shift. The Master-at-Arms also looks after the health, welfare, and safety of both staff and detainees, coordinating security measures and responses to keep the facility secure and personnel safe.

Providing counseling to prisoners is typically handled by counselors or psychologists. Investigating UCMJ violations falls to legal and investigative personnel, not the security commander. Managing motorcade pace relates to transportation security rather than the daily security operations and welfare of staff and detainees.
