Which item is NOT one of the three proficiencies units train?

• A. METs
• B. Weapons
• C. Collective Live Fire
• D. Battlefield Medicine

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is which areas are officially counted as the three proficiency domains units train to readiness. The three proficiencies are METs, Weapons, and Collective Live Fire. METs stands for Mission Essential Task proficiency—the individual tasks a soldier must perform to accomplish missions. Weapons proficiency covers how well a soldier handles, fires, maintains, and safety-checks their weapons. Collective Live Fire is unit-level training that builds coordination, communication, and teamwork under realistic, live-fire conditions. Battlefield Medicine, while absolutely essential for casualty care and medical readiness, is not one of the three proficiencies in this framework. It belongs to medical training and battlefield care, which is trained separately from METs, Weapons, and Collective Live Fire.
