Which statement about MEU components is NOT correct?

Which statement about MEU components is NOT correct?

• A. CE is commanded by a colonel
• B. GCE stands for Ground Combat Element
• C. ACE stands for Composite Helicopter Squadron
• D. LCE stands for Logistics Combat Battalion

Answer: (B)

A MEU is organized around three integrated combat elements: Ground, Aviation, and Logistics. The Ground Combat Element (GCE) is the ground maneuver force within the MEU, the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) provides air power and transport, and the Logistics Combat Element (LCE) handles sustainment and support for the whole MEU. The expansions of these acronyms are what the questions test: GCE stands for Ground Combat Element, ACE stands for Aviation Combat Element (not Composite Helicopter Squadron), and LCE stands for Logistics Combat Element (not a single Logistics Battalion). So the statement about the Ground Combat Element is accurate, while the others contain the misidentifications.
