What is the third node in the SAR transmission order?

• A. COMMO
• B. FLTCMDR
• C. RSSC/GSSC
• D. NCTAMS

Answer: (C)

In SAR transmission, messages follow a layered path from the local command outward through higher-level hubs. First, the local COMMO handles the initial transmission. Next comes the Fleet Commander (FLTCMDR) at the fleet level. The third stop is the regional/global satellite switching center (RSSC/GSSC), which handles regional routing over satellite links toward the national backbone. After that, the flow reaches NCTAMS, the central hub for Navy communications networks. So the third node is RSSC/GSSC because it sits between the fleet-level command and the national hub, handling regional routing before reaching NCTAMS. The other options correspond to earlier or later stages in the chain.
