Which functional area must perform go/no-go procedures before Missile Alert Duty Orders (MADO)?

• A. SARM
• B. Logistics
• C. Operations
• D. Security

Answer: (A)

Go/no-go procedures before Missile Alert Duty Orders are about confirming readiness of all required systems, assets, and personnel so the alert task can be executed safely and effectively. The SARM function is responsible for validating this readiness, ensuring that critical equipment, communications, resources, and trained personnel are all in place and functioning. If any deficiency is found, the go/no-go is not granted, preventing an alert from proceeding until the issue is resolved. Logistics, Operations, and Security each focus on different aspects of support and safety, but the formal readiness certification for MADO falls to the area tasked with systems and asset readiness.
