• A. Line 2. Radio frequency, call sign, and suffix.
• B. Line 1. Location of the pick-up site.
• C. Line 3. Number of patients by precedence: A - Urgent; B - Urgent Surgical; C - Priority; D - Routine; E - Convenience
• D. Line 4. Special equipment required: A - None; B - Hoist; C - Extraction equipment; D - Ventilator

Answer: (A)

The line that contains the radio frequency, call sign, and suffix is what you use to contact and identify the medevac asset. The frequency tells responders which channel to monitor, the call sign is the aircraft’s unique identity, and the suffix differentiates this particular mission or flight, which helps prevent confusion if multiple assets are operating at the same time. This is essential for getting timely and accurate communication between ground crews and the evac helicopter.

Contextually, the other lines serve different purposes: the line for pickup location directs where the aircraft should land or pick up a patient, the line that lists patient numbers by precedence communicates how urgently each patient must be treated, and the line for special equipment specifies any gear required for the mission.
