Which CASREP category indicates minor degradation?

• A. C-2 - cause minor degradation
• B. C-1 - Training
• C. C-3 - cause major degradation
• D. C-4 - cause loss to at least one primary mission

Answer: (A)

CasREP categories are about how much a system’s performance is reduced and whether missions are affected. Minor degradation means the system still works but not at full capability—there are limitations, yet it doesn’t prevent completing essential tasks. The category that is used for this situation is the one that describes minor degradation, signaling a small performance drop without a complete or major loss of mission capability. The other categories describe more serious conditions: major degradation implies a significant reduction in capability, and loss of at least one primary mission means the system cannot support its core mission. The training category is used for non-operational or training-related issues.
