Which COSC Core Leader Function involves increasing resilience and capabilities of individuals?

• A. Strengthen
• B. Mitigate
• C. Identify
• D. Reintegrate

Answer: (A)

Strengthen centers on building resilience and expanding an individual's capabilities. It involves proactive development like resilience training, coping skills, stress management education, and fostering supportive leadership and peer networks, along with access to resources that help individuals perform under stress. This directly increases how well someone can handle challenges and maintain readiness. The other functions focus on different roles: identifying signs of distress, mitigating risk factors or exposure, and reintegrating personnel back into duty or civilian life after adversity. So, strengthening is the function that most directly increases resilience and capabilities.
