How does the PDHRA benefit Department of Army (DA) Civilians?
The PDHRA is part of the Department of Defenses Force Health Protection Program and has been incorporated into the Armys Deployment Cycle Support Program. The PDHRA provides education, screening and access to care for a wide variety of questions and concerns that DA Civilians may have about their health after they return from deployment. Although DA Civilians will not be penalized if they decline to answer medical questions on the assessment forms, their answers to the questions may assist healthcare providers in identifying and providing medical care or referrals.
