Which of the following is NOT one of the three main types of DoD adjudications?

• A. HSPD-12 adjudications
• B. National security adjudications
• C. Fitness determinations
• D. Suitability adjudications

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that DoD adjudications are grouped into three tracks: suitability adjudications, which evaluate a person’s character, trustworthiness, and reliability for employment or duties; national security adjudications, which determine eligibility for access to classified information or sensitive duties; and HSPD-12 adjudications, which decide eligibility for federal credentials and facility access. Fitness determinations don’t fit into those groups because they focus on medical or physical readiness to perform duties, not on trustworthiness, eligibility for security access, or credentialing. So fitness determinations are not one of the three main adjudication types.
