What are the four goals of the Aerospace Medicine Squadron?

• A. Protect base facilities; train medical staff; increase funding; expand facilities
• B. Promote and sustain a healthy and fit force; prevent illness and injury; restore health and sustain human performance
• C. Diagnose disease; treat injuries; conduct research; provide public health guidance
• D. Recruit personnel; manage readiness; coordinate deployments; ensure compliance

Answer: (B)

The four goals center on protecting and optimizing the force’s health and performance across the entire cycle of care. They are: promote and sustain a healthy and fit force; prevent illness and injury; restore health; and sustain human performance. This framing emphasizes not just medical care, but also prevention and performance enhancement to keep airmen mission-ready. The other options focus more on infrastructure, routine clinical tasks, or administrative readiness, which don’t capture the full scope of force health protection and performance optimization.
