Role 2 medical care is located at which unit?

• A. Brigade Medical Support Company of the BSB
• B. Division Medical Battalion
• C. Battalion Aid Station
• D. Forward Surgical Team

Answer: (A)

Role 2 care is the brigade-level medical capability that provides expanded treatment, stabilization, and diagnostic support to casualties, bridging from immediate first aid to higher-level care. The unit designed to deliver this level of care for a brigade is the Brigade Medical Support Company within the Brigade Support Battalion. It houses a medical treatment area, casualty collection, and basic diagnostic services, and coordinates evacuation for patients to higher echelons as needed. A Forward Surgical Team operates at Role 3, providing surgical care forward; a Battalion Aid Station is a battalion-level facility focused on immediate care for that battalion, and the Division Medical Battalion serves at a higher echelon for division-wide support. Thus, the brigade medical support company is the correct placement for Role 2.
