Who can be the RADC/SADC for the CRC?

• A. The CRC Commander
• B. The CRC Commander or Section Lead
• C. The Section Lead
• D. ADAFCO

Answer: (B)

The key point is who has the authority to direct air defense operations within the CRC. The RADC/SADC is the person empowered to exercise command and control over air defense actions, coordinating sensors and shooters as needed. The best arrangement is to designate that authority to the CRC Commander because they hold overall responsibility for the CRC’s mission and resources. If the Commander isn’t available or continuity is required, a Section Lead can be delegated to step in as RADC/SADC, ensuring the air defense posture remains coordinated and responsive. The ADAFCO operates and executes fires under the direction of the RADC/SADC, rather than being the primary authority for overall command.
