Reserve Component Soldiers (COMPO 2/3) can volunteer to be placed on temporary active duty status for medical evaluation or medical treatment via the Active Duty Medical Extension (ADME) and Medical Retention Processing (MRP2) programs. The Soldier's unit is responsible for preparing and submitting application packets to the appropriate chain of command. Completed packets are reviewed by the ADME/MRP2 team for accuracy and by the Medical Review Board who will write a recommendation of approval or disapproval to the Human Resources Command (HRC).
Reserve Component Soldiers who incur or aggravate a service-connected injury, illness or disease while they are in an inactive duty training or non-mobilized active duty status such as annual training may volunteer to be placed on ADME. To be eligible, the Reserve Component Soldier's medical care must extend beyond 30 days and the medical condition must prevent the Soldier from performing his or her military occupational specialty.
The Medical Review Board determines whether or not the Soldier is eligible for ADME. If the illness or injury prohibits a return to the force, the Soldier will process through the U.S. Army Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES). Soldiers will not come into the program if already in the IDES process.
The MRP2 program is designed for Reserve Component Soldiers who sustain service-connected medical conditions or injuries in the line of duty that occurred during mobilization and deployment orders for contingency operations. MRP2 aims to return Soldiers back to the force within their respective units as soon as possible. They must apply for MRP2 within six months of re-deployment. To be eligible, the Reserve Component Soldier's medical care must extend beyond 30 days, and the medical condition must prevent the Soldier from performing his or her military occupational specialty.
