When is a service member considered Fully Medically Ready (FMR)?

• A. all green
• B. current on all required immunizations based on assignment location
• C. current on all required readiness laboratory studies current with all individual medical equipment
• D. categorized as 'deployable' or 'deployable with limitations' in accordance with DoDI 1332.45

Answer: (A)

Fully Medically Ready means every aspect of a service member’s medical readiness is in the green, with no conditions, profiles, or deployment restrictions pending. In practice, this means there are no medical issues that would limit duty or deployment, and all required readiness elements are current across the board.

Being up-to-date on immunizations or readiness labs, or having a person categorized as deployable with or without limitations, by itself does not guarantee FMR. Those are individual pieces of the overall readiness picture. FMR is the status where all medical readiness indicators are green, signaling no medical barriers to full duty or deployment.
