Which four specialty teams are used by convoy protection platforms?

• A. Aid & Litter, Maintenance & Recovery, Landing Zone, and EPW Team
• B. Medical Team, Evacuation Team, Security Team, and Communications Team
• C. Recon Team, SOG Team, Ordnance Team, and Drill Team
• D. Armored Team, Logistics Team, Fuel Team, and Safety Team

Answer: (A)

When planning convoy protection, you rely on four specialized teams that cover medical care, vehicle support, air insertion/extraction, and detainee handling. The Aid & Litter team provides medical care and casualty evacuation, keeping injured personnel stabilized and moving when needed. Maintenance & Recovery keeps vehicles running in the field and handles towing or recovering disabled platforms to avoid delays. The Landing Zone team coordinates and establishes safe helicopter landing zones for medevac, resupply, or reinforcements, ensuring air support can reach the convoy quickly. The EPW team manages Enemy Prisoners of War—processing detainees, maintaining custody, and transporting them as required. Other options mix in various functions that aren’t the standard quartet for convoy protection platforms, such as generic medical or security roles or teams not typically designated as part of the convoy protection package (and other groupings that don’t include the specific air-landing zone and detainee-handling elements).
