NCOTMB Soldier of the Month Board (SOTMB) Practice Exam

Five 'F's is a practical approach to stopping disease transmission in field settings by targeting five common pathways people encounter: food, fluids, fingers, flies, and fields. By ensuring safe food handling, clean water, thorough hand hygiene, fly control, and proper fecal disposal, you interrupt the main routes through which infections spread, especially enteric diseases. The aim is to reduce disease transmission, so this option is the best fit. The other choices describe outcomes or goals that aren’t what the framework is designed to address.
