Collatera designated by

Collatera designated by

• A. CO
• B. EO1
• C. Equipment officer
• D. EO2

Answer: (C)

The person who designates collateral duties is the Equipment Officer. These collateral duties are tied to the equipment program and the Equipment Officer is responsible for ensuring equipment readiness, safety, maintenance, and proper documentation. By designating who handles specific equipment-related tasks—such as inspections, maintenance logs, or safety checks—the Equipment Officer ensures accountability and proper expertise where it's most needed. The commanding officer has ultimate authority, but the assignment of these specific collateral duties typically sits with the Equipment Officer, not the junior staff or other roles.
