What units are included in the installation deployment plan (IDP)?

• A. Tenants, institutional forces, and associate units.
• B. Public affairs and force support squadron.
• C. Airman family readiness center.
• D. Major command (MAJCOM) and Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC).

Answer: (A)

The installation deployment plan identifies all units that will deploy from the installation. It covers the organizations hosted on the base and those permanently assigned to it as part of the installation’s mission, plus any additional units that are associated with or attached to deploy with the installation. In other words, tenants, institutional forces, and associate units are the units considered in the IDP so deployment planning can coordinate personnel and resources effectively across everything on the installation. Higher-level command offices and standalone support centers aren’t counted as deployable units in the IDP; they operate at a command level or provide services rather than being the units deployed from the installation.
