Which territory is included in the Eastern Air Defense Sector's area of responsibility?

• A. United States Virgin Islands
• B. Hawaii
• C. Alaska
• D. Guam

Answer: (A)

The question tests knowledge of which territory falls under the Eastern Air Defense Sector’s area of responsibility. The Eastern ADS covers the eastern part of the United States and nearby Atlantic/Caribbean areas, which includes the United States Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. That’s why this territory is included. Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam are outside that eastern scope; they fall under different sectors aligned with the Pacific region due to their far western locations and separate radar/interceptor coverage needs. So they aren’t part of the Eastern ADS’s responsibilities.
