The IDC is chaired by the Installation Commander or designee. Which role fulfills this chair?

• A. Installation Commander
• B. Base Commander
• C. Integrated Defense Committee Chair
• D. Installation Commander or Designee

Answer: (D)

The chair of the Integrated Defense Committee is the Installation Commander or someone the commander designates. This role carries the authority to coordinate across all base organizations, set the meeting agenda, guide discussions, and push through decisions and action items needed to maintain an integrated defense posture. The “designee” part ensures continuity when the commander is unavailable or delegates the chairing responsibility to another qualified official, while still under the commander’s authority. Other options don’t fit because they either refer to a role that isn’t the designated leadership for cross-unit coordination, or they loop back to the same person without acknowledging the commander’s delegation.
