In what year was the Defense International Radio Medical Center (CIRM) established?

• A. 1935
• B. 1945
• C. 1925
• D. 1965

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying the year a specialized international defense medical communications center was formed, which typically aligns with mid-1930s efforts to formalize cross-border medical radio coordination. Establishing the Defense International Radio Medical Center (CIRM) in 1935 fits that pattern: by the mid-1930s, nations were setting up organized networks to handle medical radiocommunication across borders in anticipation of broader military operations.

The other years don’t fit the historical arc as well. 1925 is quite early for a formal international center of this scope; 1945 comes right at the end of World War II, when many such institutions were reorganized rather than newly established; and 1965 is later and would reflect a more developed era of communications infrastructure than the initial formation date implied by this center’s origin.

So, 1935 is the most plausible establishment year for the CIRM.
