Line 4 of the 9-line MEDEVAC request contains what information?

In a 9-line MEDEVAC request, line 4 is the field for any special equipment required to move or treat the patient. This matters because it tells the evacuation team what gear must be available or brought along—such as a hoist for difficult terrain or rooftop pickups, oxygen or ventilator support, specific litter accessories, or isolation equipment for contaminated patients. If no special equipment is needed, you indicate none. This makes line 4 the right choice, since it directly communicates equipment needs, whereas the other lines convey location, communications, or patient precedence. For example, if a patient needs a hoist, that equipment would be noted here.
