Which of the following is NOT an example of an operational support member?

• A. Combat Camera
• B. Fuel Specialist
• C. Flight Nurse
• D. Weather Observer

Answer: (C)

Operational support members are those who enable flight operations through specialized, non-aircrew tasks. Combat Camera, Fuel Specialist, and Weather Observer all fit this role because they provide essential support that keeps missions moving: Combat Camera records operations for planning and accountability, Fuel Specialist ensures aircraft have the fuel needed to fly, and Weather Observer supplies the weather data aircrews rely on for safe planning and routing. A Flight Nurse is a medical crew role focused on patient care during flight, which is not considered operational support. So, the Flight Nurse is not an operational support member.
