The Army’s number one priority is ensuring the readiness of our forces to fight and win our nation’s wars. Readiness is the capability of our forces to conduct full range military operations and is determined by a unit’s manning, equipment and training. Medical readiness is just one of the factors of personnel readiness, but one that Soldiers and commanders can directly influence.
