Line 5 information is?

• A. Number of Casualties by Type
• B. Location of the Pickup-site
• C. Number of Casualties by Precedence
• D. Special equipment required

Answer: (A)

Line 5 is where you report the number of patients by type, such as how many are litter patients versus ambulatory. This breakdown is what the evacuation team uses to plan space, staffing, and equipment for the flight or transport—knowing exactly how many patients will require litters and how many attendants helps ensure the right resources are on hand and the patient load is managed safely. For example, if the line shows multiple litter patients and a few ambulatory patients, you’d prepare sufficient litters, assign more medics to assist with movement, and allocate the appropriate equipment. Other lines cover different details: where the pickup is, how urgent the patients are, and whether special equipment is needed, which are not part of this line.
