Who is named as the Battalion Commander?

• A. Iarty
• B. Stilwell
• C. Bishop
• D. AR670-1

Answer: (A)

The situation tests your ability to pick out the person who is explicitly named as holding the Battalion Commander role in the given material. A Battalion Commander is a person, not a regulation or an unrelated name, so the correct choice will be the name that the material directly assigns to that position. AR670-1 is a regulation, not a person, so it can’t be the commander. Stilwell is a real historical commander, but unless the text states he holds that specific battalion command, he isn’t the named commander here. Bishop could be a candidate in another context, but the material has Iarty identified as the Battalion Commander. Therefore, Iarty is the Battalion Commander.
