Which items must you always have on you?

• A. Phase card, CAC, BMT backpack, water source
• B. Phase card, CAC, BMT backpack
• C. Phase card, CAC, BMT backpack, water source, reflective belt, minimum 2 AETC Form 341s
• D. Phase card, CAC, BMT backpack, water source, reflective belt

Answer: (C)

You're being tested on items you must carry at all times to stay identified, prepared, and compliant during training. Your phase card and CAC serve as your official identification and access credentials, so you carry them everywhere you go. The BMT backpack represents the gear you’re responsible for bringing along, so it stays with you as part of your standard equipment. A water source is essential for hydration and health during physical activity and long training days. A reflective belt is required for safety, making you visible during early-morning or evening movements. And having the minimum two AETC Form 341s ensures you have the necessary official documentation with you for training-related actions or inspections. Together, these items cover identification, gear, hydration, safety, and documentation, which is why they’re the best answer. The other options omit at least one of these critical elements, making them incomplete.
