In the AE process, which organization assigns a cite number to the regulating request?

• A. PMRC
• B. TPMRC
• C. TRAC2ES
• D. MTF

Answer: (A)

In the aeromedical evacuation process, the identifying cite number for a regulating request is created by the PMRC, the Patient Movement Requirements Center. This central hub handles intake, validation, and prioritization of patient movement requests and assigns a unique cite number that serves as the tracking reference as the request moves through planning, approval, and execution. That cite number is then used across the system and by coordinating teams to keep everyone aligned on the same case. The other units play important roles—the TPMRC handles theater-level coordination, the MTF originates the request, and TRAC2ES is the system that records and communicates the status—but the initial assignment of the cite number comes from PMRC.
