What basic system do we follow for numbering CACC regulations?

• A. A system that uses sequential numbers by year
• B. A system based on alphabetical topics
• C. We follow the basic system used by the U.S. Army and number regulations according to their general subject matter
• D. A system that uses mission-specific codes

Answer: (C)

The task tests how CACC regulations are organized by topic rather than by date or arbitrary codes. The system you follow is the one used by the U.S. Army: regulations are numbered according to their general subject matter. This means each regulation is grouped under a broad topic (like administration, operations, or uniforms) and given a numeric designation that reflects that topic. This structure helps you quickly locate related rules, track updates, and stay consistent with Army-style documentation.

Using a year-based sequential system would tie rules to dates rather than topics, making it harder to see relationships between related regulations. An alphabetical-topic approach would mix subjects in a way that doesn’t convey their place in a broader framework. Mission-specific codes would vary with operations and wouldn’t provide a stable, topic-centered catalog for regulatory content.
