Which file contains unit readiness data including personnel and equipment?

• A. TUCHA
• B. MEFPAK
• C. GEO
• D. DCAPES

Answer: (A)

Unit readiness data hinges on having a single, standardized source that shows what each unit is authorized in terms of personnel and equipment. TUCHA serves as that master repository, listing unit type codes along with their authorized Manning and equipment. This makes it the authoritative reference for the baseline readiness picture of every unit, so planners can compare actual strength and gear to what's officially authorized. Other files support planning and packaging but aren’t the primary source of readiness data. MEFPAK focuses on MEF-level equipment and personnel packages for planning at that level, not the entire unit roster. DCAPES is a deployment planning system that uses readiness information, but it doesn’t itself store the comprehensive unit readiness data. GEO isn’t focused on unit readiness data either.
