What units have Medical Laboratory Services?

• A. Area Support Squad, Brigade Medical Support Company
• B. Area Support Squad, Medical Company Area Support
• C. Lab Blood Bank Section, Field Hospital
• D. Global Field Medical Laboratory / Area Medical Laboratory

Answer: (D)

Medical Laboratory Services in a deployed environment are handled by specialized laboratory units—the Global Field Medical Laboratory and the Area Medical Laboratory. These units are designed to provide broad, theater-wide lab support, performing diagnostics across disciplines and delivering timely results for patient care in the field. The other options describe general support formations or a single facility’s internal lab section, which do not represent the formal MLS organizational elements responsible for field-wide laboratory capability.
