Which line contains Number of casualties by precedence in the MEDEVAC data block?

• A. Line 3
• B. Line 1
• C. Line 4
• D. Line 5

Answer: (A)

In the MEDEVAC data block, each line is assigned to a specific piece of information, so you can locate data quickly by position. The line that holds the Number of casualties by precedence is placed at a fixed spot in the block, specifically the line that appears after the header and initial mission details. That consistent position is what makes it the correct line to pick for the casualty-by-precedence breakdown. Knowing this helps you read the block and get the urgent, priority, and routine counts directly from that line, which is crucial for triage and evacuation planning. Other lines contain different fields—totals, mission numbers, or other patient data—so they don’t provide the casualty-by-precedence breakdown.
