Annex ______ is the medical services portion of the Operation Plan that provides a summary of medical threats, diseases, assets, and prophylactic guidance.

• A. Annex M
• B. Annex Q
• C. Annex R
• D. Annex S

Answer: (B)

In an Operation Plan, the medical planning piece is the Medical Plan, a dedicated annex that brings together health-focused details to protect troops and sustain readiness. This annex provides a concise summary of medical threats and disease risks, lists the medical assets available (units, hospitals, evacuation assets), and outlines prophylactic guidance (vaccination requirements, preventive measures, and medical countermeasures). That combination—threat assessment, asset shortfall and capabilities, plus prophylaxis guidance—is exactly what the Medical Plan is designed to convey, making Annex Q the correct designation in this framework. Other annexes cover different functional areas and do not contain this focused medical threat summary and preventive guidance.
