In this stage of mentoring, the mentee usually has little or no experience at the job or in the Army. This stage is most comfortable for the novice, who depends heavily on the mentor for support and instruction. This is where the mentor is providing stronger, more direct, more specific, more detailed guidance and advice. During this stage, the mentor primarily assumes the roles of:
Coach, Motivator, Teacher
the prescriptive stage
being prepared to, and empowered to, shift AHS resources to meet changing requirements.

FALSE
. The Army Health System medical capabilities (ten medical functions) are grouped under two Army warfighting functions- FHP under protection and HSS under sustainment warfighting functions.
What part of the warfighting function does HSS fall under?
The Army Health System medical capabilities (ten medical functions) are grouped under two Army warfighting functions- FHP under protection and HSS under sustainment warfighting functions.
An operational environment (OE) has a number of threats that consist of enemies, adversaries, neutrals, and hybrid threats (force that combines traditional, irregular, disruptive, or catastrophic capabilities). What are the two main threats Army Medicine is concerned with
The Army Medicine views threats from two perspectives: the general threat and the health threat. Although the Army Medicine’s primary concern is that of the health threat, the general threat must also be fully considered as it influences the—
Character, types, and severity of wounds and injuries to which our forces may be exposed.
Enemy’s ability and willingness to disrupt AHS operations and to respect the conditions of the Geneva Conventions in regards to the protection of AHS personnel while engaged in their humanitarian mission.
In this stage, the mentee has enough experience and ability to work together with the mentor to jointly solve problems and participate in “more equal” communication. In this stage, the mentee actively cooperates with the mentor in his/her professional development plans.
COLLABORATIVE STAGE
is to provide AHS support to sick, injured, and wounded Soldiers at the right time and the right place and to keep morbidity and mortality to a minimum. Army Health System support assets are placed within supporting distance of the maneuver forces which they are supporting, but not close enough to impede ongoing operations
Proximity

How does FM 4-02 define Medical Evacuation MEDEVAC
Medical evacuation is the timely and effective movement of the wounded, injured, or ill to and between medical treatment facilities on dedicated and properly marked medical platforms with en route care provided by medical personnel
Describe or list of at least three Health Threats
-MSK Injuries (primairly training)
-Disease (DNBI)
-Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) hazards (cold weather, hot weather, etc)
-Physiologic and psychological stressors (continuous operations, operational stress, stress at homefront )
___________ stage requires the mentor to actually persuade the mentee to find answers and seek challenges, rather than getting them from the mentor. The mentee usually has some experience, but needs firm direction. The mentee needs to be prodded into taking risks. The mentor suggests new strategies, questions, challenges, and pushes the mentee into discoveries. Generally, the additional roles the mentor assumes during this stage are:
