PSA operates under who in the port staging area?

• A. PSA
• B. SDCC
• C. Area Support Group
• D. Movement Control Organizations

Answer: (B)

The port staging area is overseen by the SDCC, which acts as the central command and coordination hub for seaport operations and deployment flows. Under SDCC direction, the PSA handles the actual staging tasks—receiving, organizing, and directing personnel and equipment as ships arrive and move through the port. This structure ensures a single, unified plan for arrival processing, capacity management, and onward movement.

Area Support Group provides general base-level support in the area but doesn’t exercise control over port staging operations. Movement Control Organizations handle the execution of movement according to the SDCC’s plan, but they do not serve as the authority governing the port staging area itself.
