IMR YELLOW corresponds to which level of readiness?

• A. Not Medically Ready
• B. Fully Medically Ready
• C. Partially Medically Ready
• D. Medically Ready

Answer: (C)

IMR stands for Individual Medical Readiness and uses color indicators to show your current medical status at a glance. When the indicator is yellow, you are Partially Medically Ready: some medical requirements are satisfied, but one or more items still need action or follow-up. This means you’re not fully cleared for unrestricted deployment yet, even though you don’t have a disqualifying condition. Examples of items that might keep you in this category include a pending follow-up appointment, a missing or due-shot immunization, a dental issue that hasn’t been resolved, or a needed lab result. Resolving those outstanding items would move you toward full medical readiness; failing to address them could keep you out of full readiness or push you toward not medically ready if gaps become critical.
