Non-deployable status is defined by which DoD Instruction?

• A. DoDI 1332.45
• B. DoDI 1000.1
• C. DoDI 5105.21
• D. DoDI 1200.13

Answer: (A)

Non-deployable status is the official designation for a service member who cannot be assigned to a deployment because they don’t meet readiness criteria, whether due to medical conditions, administrative issues, or other factors that affect deployability. DoD Instruction 1332.45 provides the authoritative definitions, criteria, and procedures for declaring someone non-deployable, documenting it in the member’s records, coordinating with medical and command channels, and guiding the process to return to deployable status when the issue is resolved. This establishes a consistent standard across the services and supports accurate deployment planning and readiness reporting. The other instructions cover different policy areas and do not define this specific status.
