Abstract

his report responds to your request that we review the adequacy of the medical and physical fitness policies and practices for reserve forces of the Department of Defense and the military services. A major objective was to determine whether the Department had taken appropriate actions to correct the problems we identified in 1992 resulting from nondeployable personnel during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. This report contains recommendations to the Secretary of Defense to ensure that reserve forces are fit for military operations.
