PIRs are questions about which topics?

• A. Threat and Operational Environment
• B. Weather and Terrain
• C. Logistics and Supply
• D. Communications and Control

Answer: (A)

PIRs are the information questions that matter most for understanding who and what could affect a mission. They focus on the threat—adversaries, their capabilities and intent, and likely courses of action—and on the operational environment—the surrounding conditions that could influence how the operation unfolds. These questions drive what is collected and analyzed to support decision-making and planning. Weather and terrain, logistics and supply, and communications and control are important operational factors, but they aren’t the primary focus of PIRs, which target the adversary and the environment itself.
