Which line in the 9-Line MEDEVAC format covers the method of marking the pickup site?

• A. Line 5
• B. Line 7
• C. Line 2
• D. Line 9

Answer: (B)

In MEDEVAC operations, one line is dedicated to telling how the pickup site will be marked, so the helicopter can actually find the spot in varied conditions. This line specifies the marking method to use—such as ground panels, smoke signals, or infrared markers—so the crew knows exactly what cues to look for. That direct instruction about how the site will be signaled is why this line is the best answer: it uniquely conveys the marking method, whereas other lines cover location, communications, patient numbers and priorities, equipment needs, and security, none of which tell the crew how to mark the site.
