300 REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS/
ALREADY GRADED A+ (MOST
RECENT!!)
1. What regulation covers Standards of Medical Fitness?
Answer: AR 40-501
Rationale: AR 40-501 establishes medical fitness standards for
enlistment, commission, retention, and deployment. ATP 4-02
covers AHS operations, and AR 600-8-19 covers promotions.
2. How many Principles of the Army Health System (AHS) are
there?
Answer: 6
Rationale: Conformity, Proximity, Flexibility, Mobility, Continuity,
Control. These ensure effective HSS and FHP across the
operational environment.
3. Define "Proximity" as an AHS principle.
Answer: Locating medical assets as far forward as tactically
feasible to minimize evacuation time.
,Rationale: Proximity reduces time between wounding and
treatment, directly impacting survival rates (the "golden hour"
concept).
4. What are the two major components of the Army Health
System?
Answer: Health Service Support (HSS) and Force Health
Protection (FHP)
Rationale: HSS includes medical care, evacuation, and logistics.
FHP includes disease prevention, injury control, and
occupational/environmental health.
5. Which Army publication is the keystone doctrine for the
AHS?
Answer: FM 4-02 (formerly FM 4-02.1, now ATP 4-02)
Rationale: FM 4-02 provides the fundamental principles and
operational framework for the Army Health System.
6. What does the acronym MODS stand for in medical
evacuation?
Answer: Mission, Orientation, Duration, Security
Rationale: MODS helps plan MEDEVAC missions: type of mission
(urgent/priority/routine), orientation points, estimated flight time,
and en route security requirements.
7. What is the maximum time goal for evacuation from point
of injury to Role 2 surgical capability?
Answer: 2 hours (the "golden hour" for Role 2)
Rationale: Doctrine emphasizes evacuation to surgical capability
within the “golden hour” to prevent preventable death from
hemorrhage, airway compromise, or tension pneumothorax.
,8. List the five Roles of Care (echelons of care).
Answer: Role 1 (Battalion Aid Station), Role 2 (Forward
Resuscitative and Surgical Care), Role 3 (Combat Support
Hospital), Role 4 (Fixed Hospital in Theater), Role 5 (CONUS
Medical Center)
Rationale: Roles represent increasing capability and stability, not
necessarily physical echelons. Role 2 includes the Forward Surgical
Team (FST).
9. At which Role of Care does damage control surgery first
occur?
Answer: Role 2
Rationale: Role 2 adds resuscitative and surgical capabilities (FST,
FRST) beyond Role 1's primary care and advanced trauma
management (ATLS-level).
10. What is the difference between MEDEVAC and CASEVAC?
Answer: MEDEVAC uses dedicated, marked, armed medical
vehicles/aircraft with protected status under Geneva Conventions.
CASEVAC uses non-dedicated, non-medical assets (e.g., cargo
trucks, UH-60 for logistics).
Rationale: MEDEVAC retains protected status only when properly
marked and not used for offensive actions. CASEVAC is not
protected.
11. Under what condition can a medical unit lose Geneva
Conventions protection?
Answer: If it commits acts harmful to the enemy (e.g., using
weapons for offense, shielding combatants) outside its
humanitarian role.
Rationale: Medical personnel and facilities lose protection if they
, are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts
harmful to the enemy.
12. What does the acronym TCCC stand for and what are its
three phases?
Answer: Tactical Combat Casualty Care – (1) Care Under Fire, (2)
Tactical Field Care, (3) Casualty Evacuation (TACEVAC)
Rationale: TCCC is the standard for prehospital battlefield trauma
care, emphasizing hemorrhage control, airway management, and
hypothermia prevention.
13. Which medication is first-line for massive hemorrhage in
TCCC?
Answer: Tranexamic acid (TXA)
Rationale: TXA administered within 3 hours of injury reduces
fibrinolysis and mortality. It is given during Tactical Field Care.
14. What is the MARCH algorithm order?
Answer: Massive hemorrhage, Airway, Respiratory, Circulation,
Hypothermia/Head injury
Rationale: MARCH is the TCCC assessment sequence to address
immediate life threats. Junctional tourniquets and wound packing
come under "Massive hemorrhage."
15. Define "Conformity" as an AHS principle.
Answer: The AHS plan must conform with the commander's
tactical/operational plan.
Rationale: Medical support enables the mission but does not
drive it. Conformity ensures resources are allocated where needed
without impeding maneuver.
