File: 970207_aadct_011.txtMEDICAL LESSONS LEARNED DESERT SHIELD/STORM CATEGORY: MANPOWER AND PERSONNEL ISSUE ITEM #: SUBJECT: PHYSICAL DISQUALIFICATION BACKGROUND: Individuals with medically disqualifying conditions that existed prior to entry into service (EPTS) were activated and then boarded out. This process was lengthy and involved in cases where the individual was a medical reservist. . DISCUSSION: All personnel with EPTS conditions had to have a Medical Evaluation Board done before they could be discharged. Medical personnel do not normally have an MEB done at the same facility in which they work. This can be waived, and in the case of reservists that are only there on temporary duty, it would seem to make sense to waive this restriction. ACTION RECOMMENDED: Plans should be made to expedite the Medical Evaluation Board process for personnel with EPTS problems. SUGGESTED OPR(s), OCR(s): SGP COL KOENIGSBERG [(b)(2)]
