The Army Medical Department uses the Professional Filler System (PROFIS) to manage the deployment of health care professionals and their assignment to military treatment facilities when not deployed. This report describes the functionality of PROFIS in the current operating environment of ongoing deployments and assesses potential modifications and improvements to the system.

The increasing need for warfighters for the Global War on Terrorism has meant longer and multiple deployments for soldiers. Medical readiness is essential to their performing needed duties, and an impairment that limits a soldier¿s capacities represents risk to the soldier, the unit, and the mission. Asked to review the Army¿s compliance with its guidance, this report examined the extent to which the Army is: (1) adhering to its medical and deployment requirements regarding decisions to send soldiers with medical conditions to Iraq and Afghanistan; and (2) deploying soldiers with medical conditions requiring duty limitations, and assigning them to duties suitable for their limitations. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

This monograph examines the feasibility of a new model for maintaining the clinical skills of the military medical force. Under the model, active-duty personnel would be assigned to civilian settings during peacetime. The study on which this monograph is based explored the feasibility of this model from a civilian perspective, focusing on civilian receptiveness to the proposed arrangement and identifying potential barriers and concerns. The study found that civilian medical organizations are generally receptive to the idea of such a model and that DoD could consider conducting a pilot study to assess the effectiveness of the model in improving military medical readiness.

The DoD implemented the post-deployment health reassessment (PDHRA), which is required to be administered to servicemembers 90 to 180 days after their return from deployment. DoD established the PDHRA program to identify and address servicemembers¿ health concerns that emerge over time following deployments. This report is the second in a review of DoD¿s admin. of the PDHRA. This report examined: (1) the extent to which DoD¿s central repository contains PDHRA questionnaires for active and Reserve component servicemembers who returned from deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan; and (2) how DoD monitors the admin. of the PDHRA to Reserve component servicemembers. Illustrations.

Nine years after Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm (the Gulf War) ended in June 1991, uncertainty and questions remain about illnesses reported in a substantial percentage of the 697,000 service members who were deployed. Even though it was a short conflict with very few battle casualties or immediately recognized disease or non-battle injuries, the events of the Gulf War and the experiences of the ensuing years have made clear many potentially instructive aspects of the deployment and its hazards. Since the Gulf War, several other large deployments have also occurred, including deployments to Haiti and Somalia. Major deployments to Bosnia, Southwest Asia, and, most recently, Kosovo are ongoing as this report is written. This report draws on lessons learned from some of these deployments to consider strategies to protect the health of troops in future deployments. In the spring of 1996, Deputy Secretary of Defense John White met with leadership of the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine to explore the prospect of an independent, proactive effort to learn from lessons of the Gulf War and to develop a strategy to better protect the health of troops in future deployments.

The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.

The purpose of the research strategy described in this document is to develop a sharper and more targeted focus on research that will ultimately lead to improvements in the long-term health status of members of the military who are deployed to different parts of the world to carry out the military mission of the United States. The research strategy broadly focuses on four areas: (1) assessments of deployment-related health outcomes; (2) assessments of deployment-related exposures; (3) research on relationships between deployment-related exposures; and (4) research on high priority deployment-related risk factors. The plan describes objectives and strategies for the six goals: (1) the U.S. government will have the capability to systematically collect population-based demographic and health data to enable longitudinal evaluation of the health of all service personnel (Active Duty, Reservist, National Guard) throughout their military career and after leaving military service; (2) the U.S. government will have the capability to collect and assess data associated with anticipated exposures during deployments; (3) the U.S. government will have the capability to monitor deployments for the appearance of novel or unanticipated health threats and to quickly deploy assets to collect and assess data relevant to any newly identified threats; (4) the U.S. government will have the coordinated capability to use exposure and health outcome data to determine whether deployment-related exposures are associated with post-deployment health outcomes; (5) develop balanced research programs targeted improved prevention, intervention, and treatment strategies for priority health risk factors; and (6) establish a wide-range of national and military collaborative research relationships to enhance these efforts.

Deployment of forces in hostile or unfamiliar environments is inherently risky. The changing missions and increasing use of U.S. forces around the globe in operations other than battle call for greater attention to threats of non-battle-related health problemsâ€"including infections, pathogen- and vector-borne diseases, exposure to toxicants, and psychological and physical stressâ€"all of which must be avoided or treated differently from battle casualties. The likelihood of exposure to chemical and biological weapons adds to the array of tactical threats against which protection is required. The health consequences of physical and psychological stress, by themselves or through interaction with other threats, are also increasingly recognized. In addition, the military's responsibility in examining potential health and safety risks to its troops is increasing, and the spectrum of health concerns is broadening, from acute illness and injury due to pathogens and accidents to possible influences of low-level chemical exposures, which can manifest themselves in reproductive health and chronic illnesses years later, perhaps even after cessation of military service. Strategies to Protect the Health of Deployed U.S. Forces develops an analytical framework for assessing risks, which would encompass the risks of adversed health effects from battle injuries, including those from chemical- and biological-warfare agents, and non-battle-related health problems. The presumed spectrum of deployment ranged from peacekeeping to full-scale conflict.

Nearly 1.9 million U.S. troops have been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq since October 2001. Many service members and veterans face serious challenges in readjusting to normal life after returning home. This initial book presents findings on the most critical challenges, and lays out the blueprint for the second phase of the study to determine how best to meet the needs of returning troops and their families.
