What are the three Assignment Action Codes (AAC)?

• A. AAC 21, AAC 37, AAC 81
• B. AAC 46, AAC 37, AAC 81
• C. AAC 31, AAC 37, AAC 81
• D. AAC 11, AAC 37, AAC 81

Answer: (C)

Assignment Action Codes are the labels used in the personnel system to describe what kind of action happened to a person’s assignment. They tell you what kind of movement or administrative change is being recorded, so you can track how a member’s duties, location, or status have shifted.

The three AACs you’re expected to know in this context are 31, 37, and 81. In this course material, those three codes are presented together as the standard set of assignment actions you need to recognize. They represent common actions you’ll encounter when updating or maintaining assignment records—essentially the typical ways an assignment can be initiated, changed, or concluded.

The other options insert different numbers that aren’t part of this standard triad, so they don’t match what the material defines as the three AACs. To memorize this pair of facts, keep in mind that the trio you should know is 31, 37, and 81, as they appear together in the assignment action context. If you want the exact meanings of each code, refer to the course glossary where those codes are defined.
