What does Line 2 convey in the 9-Line MEDEVAC format?

• A. Location of pickup
• B. Call sign and frequency
• C. Patient nationality/status
• D. Terrain description

Answer: (B)

Line two is about establishing radio contact with the requesting unit. It provides the unit’s call sign and the radio frequency to use, so the MEDEVAC aircraft can identify who is calling and communicate reliably to coordinate the evacuation. This detail is crucial for reaching the right unit quickly and for coordinating approach, approach speed, and any changes in plans once the aircraft is en route. The other lines describe where the pickup is, how many patients, equipment needs, and other operational specifics, but line two specifically ensures there is a clear and reachable communication link between the aircraft and the ground team.
