What is the ACL Normal Configuration for the UH-60?

• A. 4 litters and 1 ambulatory
• B. 2 litters and 2 ambulatory
• C. 3 litters and 2 ambulatory
• D. 6 litters and 0 ambulatory

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how many patients a UH-60 can safely carry in its standard medical evacuation setup, balancing weight, space, and balance. The UH-60’s normal medevac loading configuration is four litters plus one ambulatory. This arrangement fits four patients on stretchers while leaving room for a fifth patient who can sit upright and be restrained, all within the helicopter’s weight and center-of-gravity limits and with space for crew and equipment. Loading more litters would push weight and space toward unsafe levels, while fewer litters or more ambulatory patients would reduce the hospital capability of the mission.
