The Medical Surveillance Monthly Report—or MSMR—published continually since 1995, is the peer-reviewed journal of the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division. For more than 30 years, MSMR has transformed complex military health data into credible, actionable information for clinicians, commanders, public health professionals, and policy-makers. MSMR publishes monthly reports describing the incidence, distribution, impact, or trends of illness and injuries among members of the U.S. Armed Forces and other beneficiaries of the Military Health System.

The September 2026 issue of MSMR presents four full reports, beginning with a retrospective cohort study on health outcomes of U.S. active component service members working in high risk occupations for blast overpressure exposure; followed by an inaugural Public Health Practice feature on a standardized approach to non-infectious disease cluster investigations in the Air Force; with a review of published studies from 2013 to 2024 utilizing the U.S. Department of War Serum Repository; and concludes with a report on the relevance and comparability of global laboratory molecular detection of influenza by the U.S. Department of War in 2025-2026.
