What are the standard notification hours unless otherwise directed by MFPC?

The standard notification hours provided in the training for CACO practice are designed to strike a balance between being respectful to the family being notified and ensuring that the necessary personnel are available and alert during those hours. The correct choice indicates that the timeframe for notifications extends from early morning through late at night, which allows for notifications to occur over a broad range of hours—specifically from 5:00 AM to midnight. This extensive timeframe ensures that the families can be reached at appropriate times, accommodating different schedules and circumstances.

Having notification hours that start as early as 5:00 AM acknowledges that many families may be awake and preparing for the day at that hour. Extending the hours until midnight allows for flexibility in making notifications, particularly in situations where time-sensitive information must be conveyed.

The other options suggest more restricted hours which may not fully accommodate the needs of families in distress or the logistics of reaching out to different locations or time zones. Thus, the chosen answer aligns with the operational needs of the Marine Corps while recognizing the sensitivity required in those critical moments.
