Which of the following is a DSCA task?

• A. Provide Training For International Forces
• B. Provide support for domestic disasters
• C. Conduct offensive operations overseas
• D. Provide weapons training for foreign militaries

Answer: (B)

DSCA, or Defense Support of Civil Authorities, covers the Department of Defense assisting civilian authorities in domestic emergencies within the United States. The focus is on providing help to manage and respond to disasters or major incidents when civilian agencies request federal support and coordinate with them. Therefore, providing support for domestic disasters is exactly what DSCA is designed to do. The other options fall outside this mission: training international forces or providing weapons training for foreign militaries are forms of security cooperation or foreign military training, not domestic civil-support operations. Conducting offensive operations overseas is a combat mission and not part of DSCA.
