Which of the following is NOT part of METT-TC?

• A. Time available
• B. Medics available
• C. Mission
• D. Civil considerations

Answer: (B)

METT-TC is a framework used during mission analysis to understand the environment and constraints a commander faces. It focuses on five elements: the mission, the enemy, the terrain and weather, the time available, and civil considerations such as local population and infrastructure. Among the options, time available, mission, and civil considerations are explicit parts of METT-TC. Medics available describes a medical support resource, which is important but not one of the METT-TC factors; it would be considered under logistics or sustainment rather than a named METT-TC element. So the medics available option does not belong.
