The PHA: ( 1) identifies, reviews, and corrects deficiencies in IMR; (2) verifies compliance with various elements of Deployment Health and is used to validate deployable status; (3) assesses current health status, identifies medical and behavioral risk factors, provides individualized counseling based on those identified risks. (4) provides routine referrals to clinical preventive services (colonoscopy, mammography, coronary artery disease, screening…etc.) for screening and prevention of chronic illnesses; (5) serves as a preliminary requirement for clearance to participate in the semi-annual Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA)
