Which entity provides staff supervision over USDA and USPHS advisers involved in retrograde cargo?

This question tests who provides staff supervision over USDA and USPHS advisers involved in retrograde cargo. The Command Entomologist is the officer responsible for directing pest-management programs across the command and supervising the staff and advisers who assess cargo for pest risks. By coordinating with USDA and USPHS and ensuring their guidance is implemented in retrograde processes, this role ties regulatory advice to operational handling. The other options describe roles that don’t supervise advisory staff in this context, such as the commander who has overall authority but not day-to-day supervision of entomology advisers, or inspectors whose work is focused on inspections rather than supervision.
