What are the two Role 2 USAF assets?

• A. EMEDS+10 and EMEDS+25
• B. EMEDS Health Response Team (HRT) and Collectively Protected EMEDS (CP-EMEDS)
• C. AF Air Theater Hospital (AFTH) and CCATT
• D. Forward Resuscitative Surgical System (FRSS) and ERPSS

Answer: (B)

Role 2 assets are forward, mobile medical facilities that provide advanced care beyond Role 1, including stabilization and some surgical capability, in a compact footprint. The two USAF assets that fit this Role 2 mandate are the EMEDS Health Response Team and the Collectively Protected EMEDS.

The Health Response Team is a modular, rapidly deployable medical team designed to establish forward care, triage, stabilization, and initial definitive treatment in austere environments. The Collectively Protected EMEDS is an EMEDS configuration equipped with collective protection, allowing medical operations to continue in contaminated or CB threat environments. Together, they cover the forward, agile, protected medical care that defines Role 2.

The other options refer to different capabilities or higher-echelon assets (larger hospital systems, transport teams, or specialized forward-surgical systems) and are not the standard two Role 2 assets.
