The Forward Deployable Preventive Medicine Unit (FDPMU) is vital in protecting deployed service members' health. These Navy units ensure medical readiness and Force Health Protection. Before deployment, FDPMUs complete rigorous training and an Operational Readiness Evaluation (ORE) over a nine-to-12-month span, after which they are certified by Commander, Naval Medical Forces Command. Once certified, they are always prepared for immediate action, with two teams on the watch always. FDPMU members also receive specialized tactical and operational training for effective forward deployment and delivering crucial health information to commanders. (U.S. Navy photo by Desmond Martin)
