Which area is paired with code 5 in the control areas list?

• A. NMSA
• B. North and South Loop
• C. Tree Area
• D. Command Post/ ICC

Answer: (B)

In this kind of question, the key idea is how control areas map to numeric codes so responders can reference zones quickly during alarms. Each area on the base—such as looped perimeter sections or specific facilities—is assigned a specific code. The North and South Loop is paired with code 5 in the standard list because it represents a large, continuous perimeter section treated as a single monitoring zone. Other areas like NMSA, the Tree Area, or the Command Post/ICC belong to different codes due to their distinct locations or roles. So, code 5 points to the North and South Loop, not to the other zones.
