When is a service member considered Partially Medically Ready (PMR)?

• A. when they are overdue for items that are correctable and can become current within 30 days, or sooner
• B. all green
• C. deployable
• D. current on immunizations

Answer: (A)

Partially Medically Ready means there is a medical or dental item that is overdue but can be corrected within 30 days or sooner. This status flags a temporary, addressable gap in readiness: the issue isn’t permanent, and once the overdue item is completed, the member becomes fully medically ready. For example, an immunization that’s late or a recommended dental procedure that can be finished quickly would place someone in PMR. Being all green would mean fully medically ready, and being deployable is a broader status not by itself defining PMR. Being current on immunizations alone doesn’t capture other possible overdue items that could keep a member in PMR.
