The CH-53D Sea Stallion has a casualty evacuation capacity of:

• A. 24 litters or 38 ambulatory
• B. 30 litters or 40 ambulatory
• C. 20 litters or 35 ambulatory
• D. 18 litters or 32 ambulatory

Answer: (A)

Medical evacuation capacity refers to how many patients a CH-53D can transport in one CASEVAC flight, depending on whether they are carried on litters or ambulatory (sitting/standing). The CH-53D Sea Stallion’s standard MEDEVAC configuration is designed for up to 24 litters or 38 ambulatory patients. This reflects the cabin layout, the space needed for litter stanchions and medical equipment, and the crew required to care for patients during flight. While actual missions may reduce this due to weight, fuel, or equipment, the stated figures are the certified maximums. The other options don’t fit because they exceed or misstate the helicopter’s documented capacity given the need to accommodate medical attendants and gear.
