Who should ensure that planning for and expenditure of assigned funds is consistent with the overall objective of the unit maintenance plan?

• A. Engineering Officer
• B. Operations Officer
• C. Financial Officer
• D. Logistics Officer

Answer: (A)

The responsibility for making sure that planning for and spending assigned funds lines up with the maintenance plan’s objectives rests with the Engineering Officer. This officer leads the engineering department and the maintenance program, so they’re best positioned to translate maintenance priorities into a funded, work-ready plan. They oversee what work gets planned, what resources (including money) are needed, and how actual expenditures track against the maintenance objectives, adjusting as necessary to keep the plan on track.

The other roles support the overall mission in different ways: the Operations Officer focuses on day-to-day readiness and executing operations; the Financial Officer handles money management but does not own the maintenance plan’s alignment; the Logistics Officer ensures parts and materials are available.
