AMEDD ARMY MEDICAL
DEPARTMENT FINAL TEST PAPER
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
◉ Defensive Operations definition. Answer: Commanders choose to
defend to create conditions for a counter-offensive that allows Army
forces to regain the initiative. Other reasons include to retain
decisive terrain or deny a vital area to the enemy, to attrit or fix the
enemy as a prelude to the offense, in response to surprise action by
the enemy, or to increase the enemy's vulnerability by forcing the
enemy to concentrate forces.
◉ Characteristics of the Defense. Answer: Disruption
Flexibility
Maneuver
Massing Effects
Operations in Depth
Preparation
Security
◉ Forms of Defense. Answer: Defense of a Linear Obstacle
Defense of a Perimeter
Reverse Slope Defense
,◉ Types of Defensive Operations. Answer: Mobile Defense
Area Defense
Retrograde
◉ Forms of a Retrograde. Answer: Delay
Withdrawal
Retirement
◉ AHS Support to Mobile Defense. Answer: •Fluid lines of
communication and medical evacuation.
•Casualties concentrated at decisive points in time and space.
•High likelihood of wounded enemy prisoners of war or other
detainees.
•Use of air ambulance to overcome obstacles and movement of
URGENT AND URGENTSURG patients to the appropriate MTF.
◉ AHS Support to Retrograde. Answer: •Requirement for maximum
security and secrecy in movement
•Influence of dislocated person's on MEDEVAC mission
•Integration of evacuation routes and obstacle plans
•Difficulties in controlling movements of the force
•Movements at night or during periods of limited visibility
•Time and means available to remove patients from the battlefield
,•Casualties may fall forward of the Forward Line of Troops (FLOT)
and therefore become harder to recover
◉ AHS Support to Area Defense. Answer: •MASCAL situation is
increased when
•Enemy possesses the capacity and capability to employ large
quantities of munitions
•Enemy has the ability to attack in strength at any point or points of
the defensive perimeter
•The dynamics of the defensive tasks and enemy offensive
operations requires agility of the medical evacuation system in both
planning and execution.
•Medical treatment teams may receive high volumes of casualties
when contact with the opposing forces is made and sustained.
◉ EVAC Support to Defense Considerations. Answer: •Depth and
dispersion of the defense
•Effective integration of air evacuation assets
•Projected patient workload
•Enemy artillery capability
•Enemy CBRN capability
•During Retrograde
•Time and means available to remove patients from battlefield
, •MEDEVAC routes competing with troop movement and materiel
movement
•Disruption of mission command and communication systems
•Include ambulances on priority list for movement
•Maximize CASEVAC for slightly wounded
•When patient load exceeds means to move them
•Air ambulance support to withdrawing force as well as forces left in
contact
•Air ambulances typically bypass BSMC to avoid impeding the
withdrawal of Role 2s within BCTs
◉ How do you determine if your patient load has exceeded your
MEDEVAC capability?. Answer: Casualty Estimates
Single Lift Capacity
◉ Where do you find a template to produce your
MEDEVAC/CASEVAC Plan?. Answer: ATP 4-02.2 Medical Evacuation
◉ Stability Operations. Answer: Ultimately aims to create a
condition so the local populace regards the situation as legitimate,
acceptable, and predictable. These conditions consist of the level of
violence; the functioning of governmental, economic, and societal
institutions; and the general adherence to local laws, rules, and
norms of behavior.
