Abstract
This report updates previous analyses of health care burden distributions among active and reserve component service members of the U.S. Armed Forces in deployed settings. Musculoskeletal disorders in combination with administrative and other health services (ICD-10 "Z" codes) accounted for more than half of all medical encounters in 2023 among service members deployed to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and Africa Command (AFRICOM). Three common injury conditions occurred among male and female service members deployed to U.S. CENTCOM and U.S. AFRICOM: other back problems, arm and shoulder injuries, and knee injuries.
