The HSS is to support unit readiness and is responsible for: - conducting medical evacuation and incorporates contaminated patient transport True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

Health Service Support is tasked with keeping units ready by delivering medical care and moving patients to higher levels of treatment. Conducting medical evacuation is a core duty of HSS, and in operational settings it includes transporting contaminated patients using proper decontamination, protection, and infection-control procedures along the evacuation chain. Because MEDEVAC and contaminated-patient transport are integral parts of how HSS maintains mission readiness, the statement is true. The other options don’t fit because these capabilities are explicitly part of HSS responsibilities and readiness doctrine.
