Non-Deployable:

A list of all non-deployable diagnoses and their severity would be too extensive to list here. Please refer to COCOM, specific Force Health Protection Guidelines such as CENTCOM MOD 17, Women’s Readiness Guidelines Guidelines (OTSG/MEDCOM Policy Memo 11-054), Personnel Policy Guidance for Oversees Contingency Operations (PPG) Chapter 7, August 9, 2013 and Clinical Practice Guidance for Deployment-Limiting Mental Disorders and Psychotropic Medications, October 7, 2013.

Audiology:

Refence - AR 40-501, Chapter 3, DA PAM 40-501, Army Hearing Program, 08 January, 2015, AR 40-502, OTSG/MEDCOM Policy Memo 22-040
 

1. Need valid DD Form 2215-E (Reference Audiogram) or DD2216-E (Hearing Conservation Data) recorded in DOEHRS-HC and exported to DOEHRS-DR within nine months of arrival at the Soldier Resilience and Readiness Center.
2. The DD Form 2215-E (Reference Audiogram) or DD Form 2216-E forms must have automated results; free-typed and handwritten results will not be accepted and the test will be re-administered. Results on DD Form 2808 (Record of Medical Examination) or MEPS will not be accepted.
3. H-2: Personnel identified as an H-2 must have an Audiologic Evaluation by a licensed Audiologist or Audiology Specialist (MD, DO, NP, PA, etc. not acceptable). If H-2 is confirmed SM must have a current, permanent DA Form 3349 (Profile) with a “J1” code. Both the evaluation and profile are valid for five years from the date of exam/issue however, SM must also undergo annual testing.
4.  Audiologists at all Army facilities will assess all H-3 Soldiers to provide recommendations concerning potential hearing impairments that might have negative operational impacts using the Army approved military operational hearing tests (MOHTs) such as the speech recognition in noise test. The MOHT will be administered by audiologists, trained ear, nose, and throat specialists (MOS 68U), or trained civilian technicians in a sound treated room, under earphones without use of hearing aids. These tests provide support for recommendations concerning operational impacts of hearing loss for consideration when completing the physical profile assignment limitations on DA Form 3349 and provide appropriate information for medical and administrative board determination. H-3: Personnel identified as an H-3 must have an Audiologic Evaluation and Military operational hearing test (MOHT). Per OTSG/MEDCOM Policy Memo 22-040. Audiologists who do not have access to the MOHT may use the Speech Recognition in Noise Test (SPRINT) and make profile decisions based on outcome of SPRINT until 15 DEC 2023 If H-3 is confirmed SM must undergo a MAR2 Board (Fit for Duty) and have a current, permanent DA Form 3349 (Profile) with a "W" or "Y" code. SM must undergo annual testing. Hearing loss that. falls within H4 profile range requires MEB.
5. Personnel requiring any of the above listed items will be tested on-site.
6. WBAMC and the SRRC Audiology Department strive for a maximum three day availability for all appointments. Be advised this is not always feasible. SM’s lacking any of the respective aforementioned items/documentation may be required to return for follow-up testing and/or appointments thus delaying the SM in their respective process and in some cases being held under/over. Units should strive to resolve ALL hearing issues prior to arrival at the Soldier Resilience and Readiness Center.

Laboratory Requirements:

2. Serum Sample: A serum sample will be drawn within 365 days of deployment. If a Serum Sample was drawn elsewhere, results must be annotated in HS GENESIS.
3. Upon return from any OCONUS Re-Deployment/Demobilization, all military and DOD personnel will have Serum Sample drawn.
4. G6PD: Glucose-6-Phosphate-Dehydrogenase is a laboratory test that screens a patient for G6PD deficiency before prescription for Anti-Malarial medication is given.
5. All military personnel and DOD personnel will be tested for SRPC deficiency.

Acceptable documentation of a blood type would be a Red Cross donor card, a lab result for an ABO-Rh, or a dated draw with your blood type inside your medical record.

• If you have started but have not completed Hep A, Hep B, Twinrix or the Anthrax immunizations and have proof, you will not restart the series.
• If you have had a positive reaction from the Tuberculin skin test, and it has been documented, you will not receive another.
• SMALLPOX you will be evaluated by a provider at the SRPC site for the smallpox vaccine. If you are able to receive the vaccine you will be given written instructions as to how to take care of the vaccine. For more information on Smallpox: www.vaccines.mil/Smallpox; www.vaccines.mil; or you can visit the CDC web site at www.cdc.gov.

Please follow the instructions CAREFULLY:
Documentation of immunizations is necessary. If you don’t have documentation you will receive your vaccines again no exceptions. Ensure you bring your shot record whenever you come to the SRPC site.

Optometry:

1. SM must not wear contact lenses.
2. SM must bring their most current prescription lenses to wear and use for a Visual Acuity Test.
3. SM must have a current written prescription for glasses in their possession. If not available, prescriptive lenses can be used for ordering purposes.
4. SM required to bring a letter from Doctor if SM had recent eye surgery or any ocular trauma.
5. To meet the requirements, all personnel (civilian and military) must be at least 20/40 vision in both eyes. If not, an appointment will be made thru the SRPC providers to be seen by an optometrist.
6. Each person should have in their possession two (civilian or military) pairs of glasses, gas mask inserts, and ballistic eyewear inserts. Personnel that do not meet these standards will be referred to WBAMC Optometry Clinic.

Patient Administration:

Line of Duty (LOD) -During mobilization, units must initiate and complete LODs for their Soldiers. Without clear evidence that supports LOD requirements the SRPC will not be able to complete the LOD. It is imperative that units not only create an environment that affords Soldiers the opportunity to seek medical care but that it also acts immediately if circumstances require a LOD. The unit representative initiates the LOD in the electronic LOD module (eMMPS) in MEDCHART. Limited or no MEDCHART access should not prevent LODs from being initiated, units should utilize the unit rear detachment to upload and process if necessary. If during the RSRP process medical staff determine a LOD is required and has not been initiated by the unit, the Soldier will be referred to the PAD section. The PAD section will use supporting medical documentation and the service member's orders in order to complete the DA form 2173 and LOD memorandum. Formal LOD's cannot be processed through the SRPC.

Medical Records: During the pre-mobilization process units should prepare DD Form 2766s for each Soldier. The pertinent contents of the DD Form 2766 are discussed at the unit mobilization site visit. Questions can be referred to the SRPC Patient Administration at 915-742-4493. Preparation of the DD Form 2766 with the pertinent contents will facilitate an efficient SRP as well as ensure the information is available for continuity of care while mobilized). PAD includes the MedPros and Medical Final Out stations, please refer any questions pertaining to those areas to the PAD Section NCOIC at 915-742-4493.
