Line 5 of the 9-Line Medevac format describes the number of casualties by what?

• A. Type
• B. Number of Casualties by Precedence
• C. Casualty Nationality and Status
• D. NB Contamination

Answer: (A)

Line five tells you how many patients there are by type, specifically how many are being carried on litters versus how many are ambulatory. This split helps the evacuation crew size the aircraft, allocate patient compartments, and plan the level of on-board medical care. For example, you would note something like two litter patients and one ambulatory patient. This is distinct from the urgency of the patients (which is handled on the preceding line) and from equipment or security details covered in other lines.
