Which statement best describes a deployable service member?

• A. Does not have any acute or chronic physical or psychological conditions that may interfere with their ability to perform duties while deployed.
• B. Has an acute or chronic condition that may interfere with duties but does not require screening or waiver.
• C. Is pregnant or postpartum and deployed without waivers.
• D. Is classified as DRC 3 and temporarily non-deployable.

Answer: (A)

A deployable service member is medically ready to be sent on deployment, meaning there are no acute or chronic physical or psychological conditions that could interfere with performing duties in a deployed environment. The statement that best fits this is the one asserting there are no such conditions, ensuring readiness without need for medical screening or waivers and without restrictions like pregnancy/postpartum or non-deployable status. If a condition could interfere with duties, even if it doesn’t currently require a waiver, that would complicate or delay deployment eligibility. Pregnancy or postpartum status, and a DRC 3 designation, indicate non-deployability or restricted deployability, which is why they don’t describe a deployable member.
