The Army Health System is composed of which two sections?

• A. Health service support and Force health protection
• B. Health service support and Public health
• C. Medical logistics and Dental
• D. Public health and Lab

Answer: (A)

The Army Health System is organized around two sections: health service support and force health protection. Health service support covers the medical care and logistical support that get sick or wounded soldiers the treatment they need, including casualty care, medical evacuation, hospital care, and medical logistics (supplies and equipment) to sustain operations. It ensures timely, high-quality care at the point of need and during evacuation and treatment.

Force health protection focuses on preventing health threats and maintaining readiness. This includes immunizations, preventive medicine, health surveillance, environmental health, occupational health, and programs that keep soldiers physically prepared and protected from illness and injury.

Other options mix in elements that are part of the broader system (like public health, labs, or dental) but the two overarching sections that define the Army Health System are health service support and force health protection.
