In ES R&R Opns (3), which is the third component?

• A. EA effectiveness
• B. PID/CID
• C. Emission
• D. OPE

Answer: (A)

This question tests how the ES R&R Opns sequence is evaluated by focusing on the effect of the electronic attack after you’ve identified what’s emitting. The third component is EA effectiveness because it directly measures whether the electronic attack achieved its intended impact on the target’s systems—such as degrading sensors, disrupting communications, or impairing control links. Emission is the initial data you collect about what was emitted, and PID/CID is about identifying and classifying the emitter. OPE represents the broader operational planning or execution assessment, which comes after evaluating the attack’s direct effect. So the reason EA effectiveness is the best choice is that it captures the actual outcome of the electronic attack, the critical moment where you judge the success of the intervention.
