Which area does U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) oversee?

• A. From the western shores of the United States to the western border of India, and from Antarctica to the Aleutian Islands
• B. The entire globe
• C. The Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean
• D. The Middle East and Northern Africa

Answer: (A)

USINDOPACOM’s area of responsibility covers the Indo-Pacific region, stretching from the western shores of the United States to the western border of India, and from the Arctic to the Antarctic. This captures the command’s broad footprint across the Pacific and Indian Ocean theaters, including the northernmost Aleutian area in the Arctic and down to Antarctica in the south. The other options don’t align with that expansive, theater-wide scope: one describes the entire globe, another limits the area to a North American–Pacific belt, and another focuses on the Middle East and North Africa.
