What is the allowable cargo load of the LUH-72A in its normal configuration during MEDEVAC operations?

The allowable cargo load of the LUH-72A in its normal configuration during MEDEVAC (Medical Evacuation) operations is defined by its ability to transport a specific number of casualties and medical personnel efficiently. In this context, the LUH-72A can carry 2 litter patients, 1 medic, and 5 ambulatory patients.

This configuration allows for effective use of space and resources within the aircraft, ensuring that medical personnel are present to assist with care while maximizing the number of individuals that can be transported. The inclusion of 5 ambulatory patients indicates that in addition to the litter patients, there is capacity for individuals who can walk or are minimally injured.

In contrast, the other options do not match the specifications based on the aircraft's design and operational capabilities for MEDEVAC. Some options propose a higher number of litter patients or different ratios of medics and ambulatory patients that exceed the operational guidelines set for the LUH-72A. Thus, the choice accurately reflects the practical limitations of the helicopter's cargo configuration in a medical evacuation scenario.
