UNCLASSIFIED US Army Reserve Command Fort Bragg, NC 271100ZSEP17 OPERATION ORDER 17-120 (United States Army Reserve Command (USARC), Medical Readiness Red to Green 2.0) (U) References: Annex A. Time Zone Used Throughout the Order: (Zulu). 1. (U) Situation. a. On an annual basis, each Army Reserve Soldier is required to complete a Periodic Health Assessment (PHA) and a dental assessment, which provides Commanders essential information regarding the health and mission readiness of their units. Medical Readiness Classification (MRC) 4 is assigned when a Soldier fails to complete their annual PHA and/or annual dental assessment as directed by AR 40-501. Commanders are responsible for ensuring that their Soldiers complete the requisite health assessments on an annual basis as required by Army policy, recognizing that the Army system of record (MEDPROS) affords our Soldiers a 90-day “grace period” after the 12month expiration of their assessments. Accordingly, Soldiers are reported as being MRC4 at 15 months after the completion of their previous assessments and are considered non-deployable. b. While USARC is at historically high levels of medical readiness, the MRC 4 is not at 2% or less as directed by HQDA EXORD 054-17. This historic accomplishment was achieved utilizing the current Reserve Health Readiness Program (RHRP) resources and contract vendor (Logistic Health Incorporated (LHI)). RHRP remains the primary means for Army Reserve Soldiers to achieve medical readiness. In addition, Army Reserve Soldiers are authorized to use Active Component Army Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) for PHAs, dental assessments, and/or other Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) services. c. The number one focus for medical readiness is deployability. Commanders will prioritize medical readiness services that make Soldiers deployable (annual PHA, annual dental examination and required Dental Class 3 treatment). 2. (U) Mission. Effective 27 Sep 17, Commanders at all levels will take immediate action to properly identify Soldiers with MRC 4 Level within their commands IOT counsel, prioritize, and mitigate to less than 2% the MRC 4 level. 3. (U) Execution. a. Commander’s Intent.
