"Attached" means that those individuals/teams/units are placed under control of a different HQ for the purpose of tactical operations on a temporary basis; this HQ commands and controls, but does not provide logistics, admin, or personnel support.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Depends on unit

Answer: (B)

Attached means a unit is temporarily placed under another headquarters to accomplish a mission, with the gaining HQ directing its tactical actions. However, administrative control and logistics typically remain with the unit’s home headquarters. The gaining HQ can issue tasking and oversee how the unit fights, but it does not normally take over the home unit’s logistics, admin, or personnel support unless a separate transfer of those responsibilities is arranged. Therefore, the description that the gaining HQ commands and controls but does not provide logistics, admin, or personnel support is not accurate—the home HQ usually continues to handle those support functions.
