What does the ICAO code written to the left of the red cross on the DD Form 600 represent?

• A. The facility where an aeromedical evacuation patient will remain overnight awaiting AE movement to the final destination
• B. The civilian AE transport center where the patient will be transported
• C. The patients final military treatment facility (MTF) destination
• D. The patients originating MTF

Answer: (A)

The ICAO code written beside the red cross is the holding facility where the aeromedical evacuation patient will stay overnight before the next leg of the mission. It identifies the temporary lodging/receiving facility that coordinates with the AE team to prepare for movement to the final destination. This code helps ensure the patient is admitted to the correct bed and that transport planning aligns with the next scheduled flight. It isn’t the final destination or the starting point—that information appears elsewhere on the form—and it isn’t necessarily the civilian transport center, but the specific staging facility used for the overnight hold.
