Transmitting the Request
The medical evacuation request Lines 1 through 5 must always be transmitted
first. Lines 1 through 5 must be transmitted within 25 seconds. The information
enables the evacuation unit to begin the mission and avoids unnecessary delay
if the remaining information is not immediately available. The information for
Lines 6 through 9 should be transmitted as soon as it is available.
