Dauntless Update: A New Aspect of the Soldier Readiness Processing Program

99th Readiness Division

Dec. 11, 2019 | 1:18

Col. Mitchell Paulin, Command Surgeon for the 99th Readiness Division gives insight on a new pilot program that incorporates other services, such as the United States Navy into the Army’s Soldier Readiness Processing (SRP) program at the Joint Readiness Center on Fort Dix, New Jersey, Dec. 7, 2019. Footage also includes the various stations of SRP as well as feedback about the new aspect of the program from Ensign Francisco Pineda, a Navy officer with Navy Cargo Handling Battalion EIGHT (NCHB-8). The SRP consists of several different examinations, evaluations, and interviews. These sections are broken into two areas, administrative and medical, and, when combined, may take as few as two hours or as long as eight hours, depending on the information and advanced specialized testing that an individual soldier may require. The administrative section of the SRP encompasses the least amount of time spent in the SRP process. A Soldier may typically complete these stations in as little as 25 minutes or as long as two hours. The Soldier will visit several stations during the administrative portion of the SRP, including legal, chaplain, life insurance, family situation changes, and security clearances. During each of these stations, the representative will ask the Soldier if he/she has any new information to add or delete from the current information on file. The medical section of the SRP includes a series of medical examinations and evaluations consistent with the PULHES Factor rating scheme, which is used to qualify a Soldier's physical profile for each military skill. PULHES stands for physical capacity, upper body, lower body, hearing, eyes, and psychiatric. The soldier can also anticipate to receive immunizations, the taking of a blood sample, electrocardiography (if needed), and a dental exam. (U.S. Army Reserve Video by Staff Sgt. Rodney Roldan)
