How are IEVC selected?

• A. Locally devised computer program approved by commander and SJA
• B. Randomly chosen by unit manager
• C. Based on IDRMP alone
• D. Selected by a third-party contractor

Answer: (B)

IEVC selection is about keeping the process unpredictable and under local control. The unit manager randomly selects the IEVC, which prevents patterns from being detected or exploited and ensures accountability and adaptability to current conditions. A locally devised computer program approved by the commander and SJA would create a formal, potentially deterministic process that could become predictable or slow to adjust. Relying on IDRMP alone doesn’t provide an actual selection mechanism. Having a third-party contractor make the choice removes essential unit-level oversight and can raise security concerns. The random, locally managed approach best preserves unpredictability and control.
