What form is the Post-deployment Health Assessment?

• A. DD Form 2900
• B. DD Form 2796
• C. DD Form 2795
• D. DD Form 2797

Answer: (B)

Post-deployment health checks are done after service members return from deployment to quickly identify any new or worsening health issues that may be linked to deployment and to connect them with care. The form used for this is DD Form 2796, which gathers information about current symptoms, health concerns, and deployment-related exposures to guide appropriate follow-up and treatment. This timing is typically within 30 days of returning, and it’s distinct from the predeployment health assessment (DD Form 2795) done before deployment and the post-deployment health reassessment (DD Form 2797) done later to catch delayed-onset problems, usually around 90 to 180 days after return.
