Which of the following is NOT provided by Role II medical support?

• A. Packed red blood cells
• B. Limited x-ray
• C. Operational dental support
• D. Mental health counseling

Answer: (D)

Role II medical support is a forward-level facility designed to stabilize and treat casualties with a limited but essential set of capabilities to keep patients alive and ready for evacuation. It includes resuscitation with blood products, such as packed red blood cells, to manage hemorrhage and shock. It also provides imaging limited to portable X-ray to aid quick diagnoses on the ground, and it includes operational dental support to address urgent dental issues that can affect mission readiness.

Mental health counseling, however, is not a standard component of Role II. Psychiatric or psychological care is typically provided at higher levels of care (such as Role III or above) or through dedicated behavioral health teams, rather than at the Role II forward medical unit.
