Which expansion corresponds to PMA?

• A. Post Mission Analysis
• B. Post Mission Administration
• C. Primary Mission Assessment
• D. Project Mission Accreditation

Answer: (A)

PMA is about Post Mission Analysis. After a mission is completed, this step collects and reviews data, evaluates how well objectives were met, identifies what went right and what didn’t, and pinpoints lessons learned to improve future operations, procedures, and training. The name itself matches the concept—it's the analysis that happens after the mission.

The other expansions don’t fit the same idea. Post Mission Administration would focus on administrative tasks after the mission, not the evaluative analysis. Primary Mission Assessment suggests evaluating a mission’s status or importance, typically earlier or during planning, not the post-mission review. Project Mission Accreditation implies approving or certifying a mission rather than analyzing its outcomes afterward.
