What are the types of pairs?

• A. Standard and non-standard
• B. Primary and secondary
• C. Fixed and movable
• D. Active and passive

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how pairs are classified by whether they follow established doctrine or not. Standard pairs are those that match the issued procedures, equipment configurations, and organization—kept consistent so teams can operate smoothly and predictably. Non-standard pairs are any pairings that don’t conform to those same standards, used only when mission needs, terrain, or equipment constraints require a deviation, and they require clear communication to prevent confusion. The other options describe different kinds of relationships (priority vs secondary, fixed vs movable, active vs passive) that don’t capture the way “pairs” are categorized against standard practices, so they aren’t the right fit.
