In METT-TC factors for MEDEVAC, which factor addresses airspace command and control (C2)?

• A. Weather
• B. Airspace command and control (C2)
• C. Road network
• D. Engineer obstacle plan

Answer: (B)

Airspace management and command and control is the element that directly covers coordinating how air assets are directed, deconflicted, and integrated with ground elements for a MEDEVAC. This factor sets up who has control of the airspace, how medevac aircraft will be routed and sequenced, what altitudes and flight corridors will be used, and how communications with air and ground units are maintained. It ensures safe, rapid access to patients by preventing conflicts with other aviation operations and adapting to changing conditions or restrictions in the airspace.

The other options relate to different aspects of the operation: weather affects flight conditions, road network concerns ground evacuation routes, and engineer obstacle plans deal with obstacles on the ground. None of these address the coordination and control of airspace as clearly as the airspace command and control factor.
