Air Ambulance and the AXP

Reference: 3-90.6, Chapter 10, Figure 10-8, line 974
Issue: The diagram shows the air ambulance flow going to the BAS and BSMC. It doesn’t show the helicopter going to the AXP. With respect to what normally happens, the diagram is correct. Could the air ambulance go to the AXP? Sure, but that’s not likely.
Reference: 3-90.6, Chapter 10, Page 10-28, line 1035
Issue: The AXP is used to transfer patients from tracked to either wheeled or air ambulances. Incorrect. Flow is typically TRACKED to WHEELED or WHEELED to WHEELED. Exceptions could exist (METT-TC).
Question: Is the diagram incomplete or the text incorrect? What is the farthest distance that the air ambulance will fly forward on the battlefield? The farthest distance (or location) is the BAS. There could be exceptions to this (METT-TC).
