What information does the DD Form 1380 Field Medical Card carry to the MTF?

• A. Casualty medical information
• B. Flight data
• C. Unit payroll
• D. Ammunition type

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the DD Form 1380 Field Medical Card provides the receiving medical facility with the casualty’s essential medical information so care can continue without gaps. It typically includes identifying data, medical history such as allergies and current medications, immunizations, injuries or diagnoses, treatments given in the field, vital signs, blood type, and evacuation status. This ensures the MTF understands the casualty’s condition and what has been done, guiding safe, continuous care. Items like flight data, payroll, or ammunition type aren’t part of this medical documentation and don’t contribute to patient care at the receiving facility.
