Welcome to the U.S. Navy's Deployment Health Assessment (DHA) website, to help guide active and reserve Sailors on critical milestones in the deployment process, as well as responsibilities and reporting compliance for deployment health assessments. DHAs are legislatively requirements conducted at specific time frames in the pre-and post-deployment process to identify health concerns.The DHA process supports the DoD health protection strategy to deploy healthy, fit and medical ready forces; minimize illnesses and injuries during deployments; and evaluate and treat physical and psychological problems following deployment. The process is designed to identify stress injuries, and other health concerns, that require further assessments or treatment as appropriate. Sailors submit their DHAs online utilizing the EHA application, which is then reviewed and completed during a one-on-one conversation with a trained health care provider. The health care provider will place a copy of all completed health assessments in the individuals permanent medical record.DHAs are required for Sailors when they are either deploy outside of the U.S. with duties ashore greater than 30 days or within the combatant command (COCOM) service component commander, or commander exercising operational control requiring assessments based on a health risk assessment.

Current COCOM requirements are:
                        -  CENTCOM MOD 16 DHA Requirement - For anyone traveling to or through the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR), with time in country for a period of greater than 30 days. Personnel who deploy to Bahrain are exempt. 
                        -  NAVCENT DHA Requirement - For personnel deploying to Isa Air Base Bahrain within the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT), for a period of greater than 30 days 
                        -  SOUTHCOM DHA Requirement - For Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF GTMO) within the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) area of responsibility 

**Note:** Personnel who deploy on ships are specifically excluded from this requirement unless they meet the referenced guidelines.
