readiness. MEDPROS documents the medical readiness (including deployment health
assessments) of DoD Civilians who deploy in support of operations. Units will enter all
appropriate data and vaccines administered to personnel participating in these operations into
MEDPROS prior to arriving at the mobilization station.

5–6. RC Medically Evacuated Soldiers

a. RC Soldiers who are medically evacuated to a MTF for inpatient actions and later moved
into a WTU company will need a determination of medical processing time.

b. Military Medical Authority: Military medical authority must determine if a RC Soldier is
expected to return to duty (RTD) from the time he or she is injured or becomes ill. Return to
Duty (RTD) period: If the RTD period is less than 60-days the Soldier will be returned to the
organization, unless the Soldier will have fewer than 120 days beyond the expected RTD date
left on 10 USC 12302 partial mobilization order.

c. Medical Retention Processing (MRP) orders, 12301(h): If the Soldier is not expected to RTD
within 60 days, from time of injury or illness, or, if the Soldier could RTD within 60 days, but will
have fewer than 120 days left on his current mobilization orders, then the Soldier will convert
from partial mobilization orders to Medical Retention Processing (MRP) orders (12301(h)),
subject to the Soldier's consent. If the Soldier does not consent to convert to MRP orders,
(12301(h)), the Soldier will REFRAD immediately.

d. Medical Retention Processing: Effective 1 March 2004, RC Soldiers on active duty for
contingency operations in support of the Overseas Contingency Operation (OCO) found by
military medical authority to have a OCO connected unresolved in the line of duty medical
condition may be eligible for Medical Retention Processing (MRP). For information on MRP, go
to the HQDA, G-1 homepage at www.armyg1.army.mil and click on the link labeled WTU
Consolidated Guidance (Administrative).

e. Soldiers Who Refuse Entry into the MRP: Soldier who refuse entry into the MRP will be
counseled on Incapacitation Pay (INCAP), MRP2 and REFRAD immediately.
Soldiers Incurring Illness or Injury during Mobilization: Soldiers who have incurred an illness,
injury or disease, or aggravated a pre-existing medical condition during his/her current
mobilization must be offered medical care prior to REFRAD. A military medical care provider will
offer veterans affairs (VA) care only to Soldiers refusing entry into MRP. If the Soldier refuses
MRP, he/she must sign a declination of MRP statement and be counseled by an individual
knowledgeable in MRP2, INCAP and TAMP benefits.

5-7. Existing Medical Conditions

a. Personnel who have existing medical conditions may deploy if all of the following conditions
are met:
1) The condition(s) is/are not of such a nature that an unexpected worsening is likely to
have a medically grave outcome.
2) The condition(s) is/are stable; that is, currently under medical care, and reasonably
anticipated by the pre-deployment medical evaluator not to worsen during the deployment under
