Pregnant service members are not transferred overseas in which trimester?

• A. First trimester
• B. Second trimester
• C. Not specified
• D. Third trimester

Answer: (D)

The key idea is safety during late pregnancy. Overseas moves are avoided in the third trimester because labor can begin soon and access to medical care abroad may be limited or delayed, creating unnecessary risk for both the mother and the baby. This restriction aims to keep pregnant service members in a location where they can receive appropriate medical support and not be far from familiar care if delivery or complications occur.

First and second trimesters are not blanketly restricted in the same way, and saying there’s no trimester specified would overlook the policy that targets the third trimester specifically.
