What is a purpose of performing a record review?

• A. To determine deployment locations
• B. To identify if the service member is meeting annual medical requirements or disqualifying conditions
• C. To manage payroll
• D. To evaluate unit readiness

Answer: (B)

Record review focuses on a service member’s medical fitness status. The main purpose is to determine if they meet annual medical requirements and to identify any disqualifying conditions that could prevent deployment or continued duty. This keeps medical readiness current and highlights any health issues that could risk safety or mission success. The other options miss the specific focus: deployment locations are decided by planning, payroll is a payroll function, and while medical readiness affects unit readiness, the review’s explicit aim is to verify medical fitness and flag disqualifications.
