Which roles are included on an RSOP team?

• A. OIC, NCOIC, and eight team members
• B. OIC, two experts, and four soldiers
• C. Commander, Radio Operator, and four soldiers
• D. Lead Analyst and six technicians

Answer: (A)

The key idea being tested is the staffing and leadership structure of an RSOP team. An RSOP team requires clear command with an Officer in Charge who provides overall direction and safety oversight, paired with a Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge who supervises the enlisted personnel and coordinates day-to-day tasks. Together they are supported by eight additional team members who handle the remaining operational duties—monitoring, data collection, communications, safety checks, and other on-site tasks needed to run the RSOP effectively. This composition ensures strong leadership alongside enough hands to carry out all necessary tasks without overloading any single role.

Other options mix in roles like commanders, analysts, or technicians in ways that omit one or both of the essential leadership positions or reduce the team to an insufficient or misaligned size, which wouldn’t provide the proper balance of supervision and hands-on capability required for RSOP operations.
