Section II
Mobilization

5-4. Pre-Mobilization requirements

A Soldier with a pre-existing medical condition identified within the first 25-days
that renders the individual non-deployable may be released from active duty (REFRAD)
immediately.
a. Disqualifying conditions include temporary and permanent conditions that do not meet
medical retention standards (Reference AR 40-501, Chapter 3). SRP Sites should report all 25-
day REFRADs in the MEDPROS 25-day REFRAD Module.
The Soldier's Command will ensure that the Soldier receives appropriate medical care and
follow-up upon return to home station. Care should result in either a Return to Duty status or
MEB/PEB processing within 6-months. Upon resolution of the disqualifying medical condition,
individuals are immediately subject to a subsequent order to Active Duty.
Administrative processing of a released from active duty order, must be complete no later than
30-days from the M-date.
Applicability:
1) Rule applies to all RC, AGR Soldiers mobilized in support of contingency operations.
2) Rule does not apply to AC Soldiers, and AC Soldiers assigned to RC units.
3) AGR Soldiers in Title 10 status and RC Soldiers injured in the line of duty after
mobilization.
4) 30-days and Pre-existing Medical Condition: RC Soldiers on active duty for 30 days or
more with a preexisting medical condition, who fail to meet medical retention standards, will be
released back to their RC units to undergo a non-duty related MEB/PEB processing prior to
REFRAD.
5) Soldiers with medical conditions that render them non-deployable (pre-existing or
otherwise), who are retained on active duty for more than 30 days, must be retained on active
duty for appropriate medical processing.

b. Medical evaluation of IRR Soldiers are done using DA Form 7425 Readiness and
Deployment Checklist and screened for substance abuse at the Reception Battalion. Medical
personnel will determine if a physical exam is required (Reference AR 40-501). If an IRR Soldier
has a permanent or temporary medical condition within the first 25- days of mobilization, he/she
will be REFRAD IAW the 25-day rule policy and their medical records will be forwarded to the
HRC Surgeon's Office (AHRC-SG) for disposition.

c. Documentation: All units/individual personnel must report to mobilization stations with the
following:

1) Medical and Dental records.
