Which item is NOT listed as a Harrier II mission capability?

• A. Close and Deep Air Support
• B. Deliver ordnance
• C. Anti Air Warfare
• D. Ground support

Answer: (D)

The Harrier II is designed to project air power in direct support of ground forces, primarily through close and deep air support, delivering ordnance, and defending itself in the air. Close and Deep Air Support describes using air力量 to help ground troops from nearby and from a bit of distance, respectively, while Deliver ordnance is the act of dropping bombs or firing missiles to hit targets. Anti Air Warfare covers protecting the aircraft and its allies from enemy aircraft.

Ground support isn’t a formal Harrier II mission capability because the aircraft operates as an air platform delivering combat power from the sky to support ground operations. It isn’t listed as a separate ground-facing mission category; instead, its work is carried out under air-to-ground capabilities like close air support, deep air support, and ordnance delivery.
