Which configuration describes the Area of Responsibility (AOR) for a SAR operation?

• A. Area: Multi-Districts within a single Area's (AOR)
• B. Sector: Multi-Sectors within a single Sector's (AOR)
• C. District: Single District within a District's (AOR)
• D. National: Across all Areas

Answer: (A)

In SAR operations, the Area of Responsibility is the geographic span under an Area Command that coordinates and executes responses across several districts. An Area is large enough to encompass multiple districts, so its AOR covers more than one district while staying within that single Area. That setup lets the Area efficiently marshal resources and maintain consistent procedures across the entire region. So the configuration that fits is an Area describing an AOR that includes multiple districts within the same Area. Sectors and districts operate within their own smaller boundaries and don’t routinely span multiple sectors or districts in one AOR, and a national scope would be too broad for a single AOR.
