Identifying health concerns early allows us to treat your health concerns before they become chronic problems.

The form can only be completed in an electronic or web-enabled format. A PDF version of the form is provided here as a preview of the questions that are included on the form. Service members will be contacted by their unit leaders and given information on how to access the electronic or web-enabled version when they fall within the timeframe for completing the PDHRA process. Information on how to complete the form will also be in each military service's PDHRA implementation policy.
