The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center's (AFHSC) main functions are to analyze, interpret, and disseminate information regarding the status, trends, and determinants of the health and fitness of U.S. military (and military-associated) populations, and to identify and evaluate obstacles to medical readiness. AFHSC is the central epidemiological resource for the U.S. Armed Forces to provide regularly scheduled and customer-requested analyses and reports to policy makers, medical planners, and researchers. It identifies and evaluates obstacles to medical readiness by linking various databases that contain information relevant to service members' health.
The AFHSC has military service and federal liaisons on staff which can mediate requests for information or analysis. There are liaisons from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Department of Health and Human Services. For additional information or requests, click here.
