Who is responsible for the promulgation of the AirOps manual?

• A. Commanding Officer
• B. Executive Officer
• C. Air Operations Officer
• D. Captain

Answer: (A)

Promulgation of an AirOps manual is the responsibility of the person who holds overall command authority for the unit—the Commanding Officer. The CO is the official who signs and issues unit-wide directives so they have formal standing and are enforceable across the command. The Air Operations Officer may draft and maintain the manual and coordinate updates, but the act of promulgation—the official release to all hands and the authority to enforce the procedures—rests with the Commanding Officer. The Executive Officer handles implementation of CO policies and day-to-day administration, not the official release of directives. While Captain is a title used for commanding officers in some contexts, the prompt distinguishes the role of Commanding Officer as the promulgation authority.
