Which organization receives & stages discharged equipment in the port staging area?

• A. SDCC
• B. PSA
• C. ASG
• D. Movement Control Organizations

Answer: (B)

Receiving and staging discharged equipment at the port is handled by the Port Support Activity. This unit is responsible for accepting materiel from ships, verifying manifests, tagging and accounting for items, and placing them into the Port Staging Area so they’re ready for onward movement. This role keeps the intake process organized and ensures smooth handoff to the next step in distribution, coordinating with terminal operators and Movement Control for routing. Other groups focus on broader deployment coordination or movement planning rather than the port’s immediate intake and staging tasks, so they don’t perform this specific port-side function.
