Who is the acting Major (Chief of Security)?

• A. Lieutenant Jared Kim
• B. Captain Jacob Sullivan
• C. Major Daniel Reed
• D. Sergeant Maria Lopez

Answer: (B)

This question tests how leadership is maintained when the person in charge is unavailable. In security command, the role of acting Major is filled by the next highest-ranking officer on site to ensure continuous, stable leadership. Here, the captain is the officer designated to step in, so Captain Jacob Sullivan serves as the acting Chief of Security. This arrangement keeps decision-making and supervision in place while the Major is absent.

The other ranks are lower in the typical chain of command, so they wouldn’t normally assume the acting role over the captain unless specifically delegated or if no higher-ranking officers were present. The actual Major would hold the position when present, not act in it, and a sergeant, while important, does not normally carry the full scope of the Chief of Security responsibilities on a temporary basis.
