FHP mission is under?

• A. Sustainment warfighting function
• B. Protection warfighting function
• C. Mission Command warfighting function
• D. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance

Answer: (B)

Force Health Protection is about keeping the force healthy and ready to operate, which directly supports the unit’s ability to survive and stay in the fight. In military doctrine, warfighting functions group what enables mission success, and Protection focuses on safeguarding personnel and operational resilience. FHP falls under Protection because it concentrates on preventing illness and injury, maintaining medical readiness, and providing care and evacuation when needed so troops can continue to perform their duties. Sustainment handles logistics and supply, Mission Command covers leadership and decision-making, and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance deals with information gathering; none of those primary areas address health protection in the same way. So the mission of Force Health Protection belongs to the Protection warfighting function.
