OverviewFemale service-members are serving in more complex occupational specialties and are being deployed to combat operations, potentially leading to increased health risks. Similar to their male counterparts, female service-members must maintain their medical readiness; however, they have unique health care needs that require access to gender-specific services. This book examines the extent that the Department of Defense's (DoDs) policies for assessing individual medical readiness include the unique health care issues of female service-members; the availability of health care services for female service-members on domestic Army installations; and the extent to which the DoD's research organisations have identified a need for research on the specific health care needs of female service-members who have served in combat.
