Soldiers are the centerpiece of Army combat formations.

The rigors of modern combat in austere environment demand that Soldiers be physically and emotionally prepared for the associated stress. Medical and dental readiness is an important component to the overall preparation of Soldiers and units for deployment. Healthy and protected Warriors optimize mission readiness, health & fitness, and resiliency throughout the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) process: before, during and after deployment. Medical readiness is the responsibility of every commander and leader in the Army.

As a leader, you are responsible for the medical readiness requirements in the TRAIN-READY, AVAILABLE/IN-THEATER, and RESET phases of the ARFORGEN.
