Who is noted as the Commander in Chief of the Army?

• A. General Dunford
• B. The Honorable John Mchugh
• C. The Honorable Ashton B. Carter
• D. None of the above

Answer: (D)

The correct response reflects the fact that the Commander in Chief of the Army is not a specific military leader or a member of the civilian leadership commonly associated with the Army. Instead, the title of Commander in Chief ultimately belongs to the President of the United States, as dictated by the Constitution. The individuals mentioned in the other responses either held specific roles within the military or civilian leadership but do not hold the title of Commander in Chief.

For example, General Dunford was a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and positions such as Secretary of the Army are filled by individuals like the Honorable John McHugh or the Honorable Ashton B. Carter, who served in significant governmental roles but do not hold the Commander in Chief position. Therefore, none of the individuals listed in the options qualifies as the Commander in Chief of the Army, affirming that "none of the above" is the appropriate choice.
