Port Security Units (PSUs) report to or serve under which command authority?

Port Security Units (PSUs) report to or serve under which command authority?

• A. The District office of the district they're in
• B. The Sector Commander
• C. The Area Commander
• D. The Commandant's Staff

Answer: (A)

Port Security Units fit into a district-based command framework. They are administratively and formally under the District Office in the district where they are assigned. This district-level authority provides consistent oversight, accountability, training, and resource support for all PSUs within that district, ensuring uniform readiness and policies across the ports they protect. While Sector Commanders handle day-to-day operations in their areas, the PSU’s formal reporting line for administration and command purposes is to the district office of the district they’re in. That district-level relationship makes the District Office the correct command authority for PSUs.
