Promoting brain health enables our effectiveness as a fighting force operationally. Mitigating the impact of traumatic brain injury, in all its forms, is a top priority for DOD as we focus on the near and long-term health of our service members. Warfighter brain health represents the physical, psychological, and cognitive status that affect a warfighter’s capacity to function adaptively in any environment and impacts readiness, operational capability, and mission effectiveness.

The Warfighter Brain Health Initiative focuses on cognitive and physical performance, identification of known and emerging brain threats in military environments, and methods to immediately detect and treat brain injury.
