Which option best describes the modern Ordnance Corps responsibilities?

The modern Ordnance Corps focuses on the Army’s weapons-related materiel and keeping it ready for use. This means ensuring equipment and munitions are ready (materiel readiness), moving and supplying parts and supplies (logistics), and keeping gear in good working order through maintenance. That combination best describes what the Ordnance Corps does today. Medical supply and healthcare are duties of the Medical Department, aviation maintenance and logistics belong to Army Aviation, and cyber warfare with ISR collection fall under cyber/intelligence domains, not ordnance.
