The LRP's approved signatory for the military must be:

• A. Any military officer
• B. A private contractor
• C. DoD civilian only
• D. Any military officer or DoD civilian, acting in an equivalent capacity to a military officer, designated

Answer: (D)

The signatory must have formal authority to certify and commit to the military’s requirements, either as a military officer or as a DoD civilian who is acting in an equivalent capacity and has been designated for this role. This ensures the person signing is accountable and empowered to enforce the plan within the military structure. That’s why the best choice includes both possibilities and requires designation: a military officer or a DoD civilian in an equivalent capacity, designated. Why the other options don’t fit: restricting it to any military officer excludes DoD civilians who are properly designated to sign in an equivalent role; allowing only a private contractor would lack the official authority to certify and enforce DoD requirements; limiting to DoD civilians only excludes military officers who are also in the appropriate position and designated for signing.
