How many deputies are part of the AADB rescue team (PEM Team)?

• A. Two deputies with PEM Team personnel
• B. Four deputies with PEM Team personnel
• C. Three deputies with PEM Team personnel
• D. Six deputies with PEM Team personnel

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that a PEM Team rescue operation needs enough personnel to cover leadership, execution, and safety without overloading the team. Four deputies provide the right balance: there are enough bodies to handle equipment, perform rescue tasks, assist with patient care, and maintain scene safety, while still allowing clear command, effective communication, and rotation to prevent fatigue. Too few (like two or three) can leave critical gaps in coverage and safety, and too many (like six) can complicate coordination and slow response. Four deputies with PEM Team personnel aligns with a practical, safe staffing level for these missions.
