IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement by Jules W. Hurst III, Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness on the Review of Medical Conditions Disqualifying for Accession Into the Military Memorandum
April 28, 2025

High, uncompromising, and clear standards are a hallmark of the U.S. military and are essential to helping us remain the most lethal and effective fighting force in the world.  To uphold these standards, and ensure that our warfighters are capable and ready, no matter the domain, adversary, or conditions, the Secretary of Defense has directed my office to conduct a review of existing medical standards for enlistment or appointment into military service.  More information can be found here.

Over the next 30 days, my office will identify any medical conditions that should be ineligible for a medical accession waiver and identify any medical conditions for which a medical accession waiver may only be granted by the Secretary of a Military Department.  These lists will be used to make any necessary updates to DoD guidance that the Services use to assess the medical readiness of individuals seeking to join the military.
