Which directive delineates missions and clarifies assigned duties applicable to the Air Force's joint task force wings?

• A. Air Force Mission Directive 13
• B. Joint Task Force Directive 1
• C. Air Force Instruction 11-2
• D. Air Force Mission Directive 9

Answer: (A)

Air Force Mission Directives outline a unit's officially assigned mission and clarify the duties and authorities for that unit, including joint task force wings. This type of directive provides the authoritative statement of what the wing is meant to do and what roles it must fulfill, which is exactly what’s being asked about—delineating missions and clarifying assigned duties.

The other options don’t fit as the governing document for this purpose. A Joint Task Force Directive would come from a joint or higher-level scope outside of the Air Force’s own Mission Directives. An Air Force Instruction is more about procedures and processes rather than codifying a unit’s mission and assigned responsibilities. A different Air Force Mission Directive with a different number would address a different unit or mission scope.
