Welcome to the NMCPHC Deployment Health Home Page
Deployment Health includes activities before, during, and after deployments. Ensuring that Sailors and Marines are medically prepared to deploy, minimize hazardous exposures during deployments, and receive exceptional treatment for deployment-related health concerns is the responsibility of each individual service member, commanding officers, and health care professionals. Deployment Health should be implemented as a seamless process that screens, identifies, and treats members efficiently and effectively.
This Web page addresses key components of the Deployment Health cycle, to include:
- Policies
- Pre- and Post-deployment health assessments and 3-6 month Reassessments
- Clinical guidance for healthcare providers
- Information for individual members and their families
