Who supervises casualty training according to the material?

• A. Medical rep
• B. Commanding officer
• C. Logistics officer
• D. Damage control petty officer

Answer: (A)

Casualty training supervision is handled by the medical representative because caring for injured personnel is a medical function that requires clinical knowledge to teach proper assessment, triage, first aid, and casualty evacuation. The medical representative ensures the curriculum reflects current medical standards, and drills are conducted with appropriate medical procedures and equipment in mind. While the commanding officer oversees overall policy and readiness, the day-to-day supervision of casualty care training should come from those with medical expertise. The damage control petty officer leads shipboard damage-control tasks like fire and flooding response, not clinical casualty care. The logistics officer manages supplies and movement of equipment, not the medical instruction itself. So the medical representative is the correct supervisor for casualty training.
