What type of CCA requires the IPPW to brief leadership within 60 days of the DEOCS closing?

• A. Annual
• B. Quarterly
• C. Initial
• D. Final

Answer: (A)

After the DEOCS closes, the briefing to leadership within 60 days is tied to the annual CCA cycle. This approach gives leadership a complete year-in-review of the command climate, highlighting trends, strengths, gaps, and the actions planned to address issues over the coming year. The 60-day window keeps the information timely and actionable, while allowing the IPPW to compile, validate, and present a cohesive narrative that supports yearly planning and accountability. Other timing options correspond to different phases—an initial briefing would come at the start to establish baseline directions, a final briefing to wrap up a specific effort, or quarterly briefings to provide more frequent snapshots. The annual briefing within 60 days best fits the standard, year-long perspective expected of the DEOCS-based assessment.
