Abstract: This population based study of health status in deployed and non-deployed US military personnel, before and after service, is mandated by congress, recommended by the Institute of Medicine and authorized in the FY 1999 Defense Authorization Act. This study is directed toward precluding Gulf War Illness-like syndromes following future deployments, and thereby maintaining troop morale, confidence and effectiveness across DoD.
