Line 3 of the 9-line MEDEVAC request contains what information?

Line 3 communicates how many patients are being requested and their urgency level. In MEDEVAC terms, “precedence” refers to the medical priority of each patient (for example urgent, urgent surgical, priority, or routine). By listing the counts grouped by these categories, the evacuation teams know exactly how many people will be boarded and how urgently they must be treated and moved. This information drives decisions about aircraft type, medical staffing, and in-flight care needs. The other lines handle location (where to pick up), communications (radio frequency and call sign), and any special equipment, which is why this line focuses specifically on patient numbers by priority.
