Which of the following is NOT a listed support agency?

• A. US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases
• B. Army Public Health Command
• C. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• D. National Institutes of Health

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is to recognize which organizations function as direct support agencies in a military/public health context. USAMRIID and the Army Public Health Command are clearly Army-focused entities that provide medical research and public health support for the force. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is a major civilian public health agency that also supplies essential public health support. National Institutes of Health, on the other hand, is primarily a civilian biomedical research organization focused on advancing medical knowledge rather than serving as a direct Army support agency. In this context, NIH isn’t listed as a support agency, making it the correct choice.
