What is the function of D and E flight?

• A. Hospitals, command staff, and rear rescue personnel
• B. EMS East
• C. Monitored by FRCC at all times
• D. 800 mhz tier 3

Answer: (A)

The function of D and E flight is to provide essential support coordination for the incident, acting as the link between hospitals, the command staff, and rear rescue personnel. In a major incident, these flights focus on hospital liaison, patient movement coordination, and ensuring the command team has the logistical backing to keep operations moving safely and efficiently. This role helps free frontline crews to focus on immediate life-safety tasks while ensuring patients are routed to appropriate facilities, beds are tracked, and transfers are arranged smoothly. The other options describe locations, monitoring duties, or equipment, which do not define the active coordination and support function of these flights in incident management.
