Who does the unit deployment manager (UDM) notify for remedial actions when unit task codes (UTC) cannot be supported due to changes in manpower or equipment?

• A. Military Treatment Facility Commander (MTF/CC)
• B. Support Squadron Commander (MDSS/CC)
• C. Installation Deployment Office (IDO)
• D. Medical Readiness Office (MRO)

Answer: (C)

When UTCs can’t be supported because of changes in manpower or equipment, the unit deployment manager escalates the issue to the Installation Deployment Office. The IDO serves as the on-installation hub for deployment planning and remediation, coordinating with affected units, installation agencies, and higher headquarters to implement actions that bring UTCs back into supportable status. This can include reassigning personnel, sourcing augmentees, adjusting equipment, or revalidating mission requirements until capabilities align with the deployment plan. The Medical Treatment Facility Commander and the Medical Readiness Office handle medical facility leadership and medical readiness, respectively, but the formal coordination for deploying unit remediation sits with the Installation Deployment Office.
