Which system documents the programmed and budgeted force to this level of detail to ensure that organizations may place demands on the Army's functional systems?

• A. ARSTRUC
• B. UIC
• C. Command Plan
• D. SAMAS

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is how the Army records the programmed and budgeted force with enough detail to let organizations place demands on the Army’s functional systems. SAMAS is the system that provides this detailed, budgeted force data in a single, auditable source, including manpower, equipment authorizations, and unit allocations. This enables functional managers across the Army—personnel, maintenance, supply, and other systems—to forecast needs, align them with the program and budget, and issue precise demands against a consistent data foundation. ARSTRUC outlines the overall force structure and how units fit together, but it doesn’t provide the detailed budgeting and programming data used to drive functional systems. A unit identification code (UIC) is merely an identifier for units. The Command Plan is a planning document describing future force concepts and operations, not the data system used to document programmed and budgeted force.
