Which combatant command covers Europe?

• A. U.S. Northern Command
• B. U.S. Indo-Pacific Command
• C. U.S. European Command
• D. U.S. Central Command

Answer: (C)

Think in terms of geographic areas of responsibility for the unified combatant commands. Europe falls under U.S. European Command, which plans and conducts military operations in Europe and coordinates with NATO and allies. Its headquarters is in Stuttgart, Germany. This distinguishes it from the other commands: Northern Command handles North America, Indo-Pacific Command covers the Indo-Pacific region, and Central Command covers the Middle East and Central Asia. So the command that covers Europe is U.S. European Command.
