An Army tool and construct that describe an organization, program, or function. It is a way to capture total resources over a multi-year time period and is comprised of Army Program Elements (APEs). Collectively, MEDPs account for all Army resources.

• A. Master Development Plan
• B. Military Equipment Deployment Plan
• C. Management Decision Package (MDEP)
• D. Mission Evaluation Document

Answer: (C)

The key idea is a budgeting construct used to describe and justify a specific organization, program, or function over several years. Each Management Decision Package is built from Army Program Elements and lays out the resources required—personnel, equipment, funding, and other inputs—for the program across multiple years. By assembling all such packages, the Army accounts for its total resources. This packaging fits neatly into the PPBE process and the Program Objective Memorandum, providing a clear, multi-year resource picture for every element of the force. The other documents refer to different planning or evaluation roles and do not serve as the comprehensive, multi-year resource description described here.
