Under which TYCOM do we fall?

• A. COMNAVAIRPAC
• B. COMUSNAVAIRSYSCOM
• C. COMNAVAIRLANT
• D. COMNAVAIRFOR

Answer: (C)

Type Commands organize a warfare community by region and scope. For naval aviation, there are regional TYCOMs to manage forces in different areas, with an overarching aviation TYCOM providing policy and leadership across the whole force. If the unit operates on the Atlantic side, its aviation forces fall under the Atlantic regional TYCOM. That’s why COMNAVAIRLANT is the right fit here. The Pacific counterpart would be COMNAVAIRPAC, the other option is a different command focused on systems development (not daily readiness), and the overarching aviation TYCOM is COMNAVAIRFOR, which applies to the entire Navy’s aviation policy rather than a specific region.
