  • Establishing data access systems that integrate medical and personnel records.
  • Incorporating health surveillance into the pre-deployment planning process.

Main Results:

  • A combined approach to needs and risk assessments is required for military health surveillance.
  • A unified system for accessing medical and personnel data is necessary.
  • Pre-deployment planning is essential for effective health surveillance strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating health surveillance into pre-deployment planning is vital for troop safety.
  • Adequate resources and significance must be allocated to health surveillance during and after operations.
  • A comprehensive strategy is needed to manage hazard exposure risks for deployed military personnel.
