Pre-Deployment Health Assessment
When preparing for overseas deployment with the Department of Defense or Department of State, ensuring medical fitness (including direct COCOM compliance, such as CENTCOM MOD 18) is not just a requirement but critical to mission success and employee safety. A pre-deployment physical exam serves as the gateway to international assignments, verifying that personnel can safely perform their duties in challenging environments while meeting all regulatory requirements.
