Which action is a Title 10 performance function of the Secretary of the Army?

• A. The construction, outfitting, and repair of military equipment
• B. The regulation of interstate commerce
• C. The conduct of foreign diplomacy
• D. The management of national currency

Answer: (A)

Title 10 performance functions for the Secretary of the Army include the activities that keep the Army ready and capable, such as constructing, outfitting, and repairing military equipment. This area covers procurement, maintenance, and modernization to ensure forces have reliable gear and infrastructure. The other duties described fall outside the Army's scope: regulating interstate commerce belongs to agencies in the Commerce/related regulatory framework, conducting foreign diplomacy is handled by the State Department, and managing the national currency is a Treasury/federal reserve function. So the construction, outfitting, and repair of military equipment best fits the Secretary of the Army’s responsibilities under Title 10.
