Which combatant command covers South and Central America?

• A. U.S. Southern Command
• B. U.S. Northern Command
• C. U.S. European Command
• D. U.S. Indo-Pacific Command

Answer: (A)

Combatant Commands are organized by geographic areas of responsibility that define which region they oversee for security operations and engagement with partner nations. South and Central America fall under U.S. Southern Command, which also includes the Caribbean, focusing on stability, security cooperation, and regional partnerships there. The other commands cover different regions: Northern Command handles North America, European Command handles Europe, and Indo-Pacific Command covers the Indo-Pacific region. This geographic alignment is what makes U.S. Southern Command the command responsible for South and Central America.
