Which command's area of responsibility includes Egypt and the Middle East?

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

Answer: (D)

Unified Combatant Commands divide the world into geographic areas of responsibility, each led by one command. The region that includes the Middle East and Egypt falls under United States Central Command. That means CENTCOM handles planning, operations, and coordination for activities in that area. The other commands focus on different regions—they manage the Indo-Pacific, Europe, and North America, respectively—so they don’t oversee Egypt and the Middle East.
