MEDICAL AND DENTAL

Section I
Introduction

5–1. Purpose

Provide medical and dental guidance for military and civilian (DA, Red Cross, AAFES, and
Contractor) personnel mobilized and/or deployed in support of contingency operations.
Personnel transiting to a combatant command area of responsibility (AOR) who is not
specifically included in first sentence, such as senior officials or visitors conducting brief
oversight or informational visits should seek specific medical advice that is tailored to their
individual needs and travel itinerary from their supporting Medical Treatment Facility (MTF).

5–2. General Guidance

a. Medical Screening Responsibility:

1) The Army National Guard (ARNG) and US Army Reserve Command (USARC) are
responsible for medically screening their forces prior to mobilization. Soldiers who fail to meet
medical retention standards IAW AR 40—501, Standards of Medical Fitness, do not send to the
mobilization station.
ARNG and USAR commanders are responsible to certify that pre-mobilization medical/dental
screening was accomplish.
2) AC Soldiers on orders for Transition Team (TT) duty will undergo complete Soldier
Readiness Processing (SRP).
3) Army Civilians deploying in support of contingency operations and other emergencies
(and employees of DoD or other federal agencies making use of Army deployment processing)
also undergo SRP (DA Form 7425). Army Civilians who deploy as part of a unit normally
accomplish their deployment processing, including medical screening, with the unit. To the
greatest extent practicable (and except as provided elsewhere in this chapter), medical
screening for deployment of non-unit related Army Civilians will be accomplished at the home
station Military Treatment Facility (MTF) prior to departure for the CONUS Replacement Center
(CRC). Because medical screening for deployment is required for the performance of official
duties, the MTF will provide it without charge and with priority similar to the medical screening of
deploying Soldiers.
4) Contractors: Medical screening of contractor personnel is a responsibility of their
employing company, CRC (or other authorized deployment-processing site) will validate the
medical screening has been done.
