What are the types of jump statuses?

• A. Permanent and Active
• B. Temporary and Reserved
• C. Temporary and Active
• D. Draft and Active

Answer: (C)

Jump status describes whether a person’s jump assignment is currently in effect and, if not, how long it will last. The two types that fit this concept are temporary and active. A temporary jump status indicates a time-limited or conditional assignment—a short-term tasking or training period that will end or change when its duration expires. An active jump status means the jump assignment is currently in effect and the individual is slated for jumps now. This distinction matters for scheduling and resources because you can separate someone who is in a current, ongoing jump plan from someone whose jump assignment is only for a limited period and will be updated or removed when that period ends.
