What are the ranks associated with the Division Preventive Medicine Section roles?

• A. Preventive Medicine Officer (MC, MAJ, 60C) and Environmental Science and Engineering Officer (MS, CPT)
• B. Nurse and Pharmacist
• C. Logistics Officer and Public Affairs Officer
• D. Entomologist and Epidemiologist

Answer: (A)

In a Division Preventive Medicine Section, the staff typically includes two officer roles: a Preventive Medicine Officer and an Environmental Science and Engineering Officer. The Preventive Medicine Officer comes from the Medical Corps and is typically a Major, often with the 60C specialty code for Environmental Health Officer. The Environmental Science and Engineering Officer comes from the Medical Service Corps and is usually a Captain.

This pairing reflects how the Army organizes preventive health expertise: a physician leads clinical preventive medicine efforts, while an environmental health/engineering specialist provides the engineering and environmental health support needed to keep the environment and operations safe and healthy.

Other roles listed would involve different branches or duties (for example, nursing or pharmacy roles in their own corps, or logistics/public affairs roles in other areas), so they’re not the standard pair associated with the Division Preventive Medicine Section.
