What is the Field Manual for Aero Medical Evacuation?

• A. FM 4-02.0
• B. FM 4-02.2
• C. FM 4-20.2
• D. FM 3-04.2

Answer: (B)

In Army doctrine, field manuals use a numeric series to designate the topic and a revision suffix to show the version. For Aeromedical Evacuation, the authoritative reference in the 4-02 Medical Service family is FM 4-02.2. This manual details planning and execution of air MEDEVAC missions, including patient loading and care en route, flight safety, and the coordination between medical teams and aircrews. The .2 suffix indicates a second revision focused specifically on MEDEVAC within that series, making it the most current and relevant source for aeromedical evacuation procedures in this context. The other options refer to different manuals or older revisions that don’t reflect the current MEDEVAC doctrine, so they aren’t the correct source for Aeromedical Evacuation.
