Health of the Reserves
Some fairly disturbing news from GAO's new report on the medical and physical fitness of reserve forces called to active duty:
DOD is unable to determine the care provided to those deployed with preexisting medical conditions because DOD has not determined what preexisting conditions may be
allowed into a specific theater and, thus, does not know what conditions to track. Evidence GAO developed suggests that members are deployed into theater with preexisting conditions, such as diabetes, heart problems, and cancer.
