Which of the following is NOT a Warfighting Function?

• A. Movement and Maneuver
• B. Fires
• C. Information
• D. Intelligence

Answer: (C)

War fighting functions are the main capabilities a commander uses to conduct operations, covering how forces move, how they deliver effects, how they sustain and protect themselves, and how command and control run the operation. In this framework, movers and maneuverers shape the battlefield, fires produce the combat effects, and intelligence handles the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information to support decisions. Information, however, is the information environment itself—the broad flow and use of data across all activities—not a stand-alone function. It supports and enables the other functions rather than standing alone as a defined function. Because of that, Information is not considered a warfighting function in this context, whereas Movement and Maneuver, Fires, and Intelligence are.
