Service members and their Families
Force Health Protection means that my nation and the Department of Defense are looking out for my best interests. That they will provide me - and my family - with the full range of the finest medical care available on a routine and regular basis. It means that when I am injured or wounded while on deployment I will have world-class health care provided by world-class professionals anytime anywhere. But more importantly, it means that I will not have to worry about the medical care being provided to my family members on the home front. They too will be receiving the finest care available whenever and wherever they need it. It also means that I will work in partnership with service leaders and medical professionals to maintain my fitness and health. As a member of the Reserve component or National Guard, it means that when I am serving on active duty I will be provided with the finest medical care available, as will my family. I know that I will be working in partnership with outstanding professionals both while I am on active duty and in a non-active duty status. It also means that when I separate from active duty or retire from military service, the transition to post-service health care will be handled with dignity and respect. I will not be left adrift to navigate my way through a confusing array of choices; but rather, I will be steered towards the best choices available to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle.
