Line 2 of the 9-LINE MEDEVAC requests what information?

• A. Radio frequency, call sign and suffix
• B. Distance to site
• C. Altitude
• D. Type of wound

Answer: (D)

The information being tested is how the MEDEVAC request lines are used to establish communications. Line 2 is dedicated to the radio frequency, your unit’s call sign, and any suffix. This allows the helicopter crew to contact you, verify you’re calling from the correct unit, and lock onto the right communications channel quickly and securely. Without clear frequency and call sign information, the evacuation assets could miss the pickup or communicate with the wrong party. Distance to the site, altitude, and wound type aren’t what this line is designed to convey, so they belong to other parts of the format where location, patient condition, and aircraft coordination are specified.
