ASCCs can further delegate ADCON to the senior Army HQ operating in a particular area. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only to ADCON
• D. Not allowed

Answer: (A)

ADCON can be delegated within joint command structures to keep administrative support aligned with where troops are operating. The CCDR/ASCC relationship allows the senior Army headquarters already operating in a theater to take on ADCON for Army forces in that area. This makes administrative tasks—personnel, logistics, supply, maintenance, and other support functions—more responsive and integrated with theater operations, without transferring mission direction. OPCON/TACON remain with the appropriate operational chain, while ADCON is the administrative support authority that can be passed down to the theater’s senior Army headquarters to streamline management. So the statement is true.
