Annex ______ is the medical services portion of the Operation Plan that provides a summary of medical threats, diseases, assets, and prophylactic measures.

• A. Annex M
• B. Annex Q
• C. Annex S
• D. Annex T

Answer: (B)

This is the medical services planning piece of the operation plan. It collects the health threats in the area, the disease risks the force may face, the medical assets available (hospitals, medevac, clinical staff, supplies), and the protective and preventive measures needed (vaccines, chemoprophylaxis, antimalarials, sanitation, etc.). By having all of that in one annex, medical planners and the commander can align medical support, preventive medicine, and force health protection with the mission requirements. It also informs logistics for medical supplies, evacuation capacity, and surveillance or outbreak response. Other annexes cover different functional areas and do not provide this consolidated overview of medical threats and preventive measures, which is why this one is the correct match.
