MSMR’s annual burden of disease reports are designed to provide accurate estimations of the general health status of U.S. military personnel, for prioritization of effective interventions with measurable impacts on force readiness. In these reports, diagnoses are grouped to inform our readership of the major factors and variables each year affecting health care provision within the Military Health System. Although burden of disease within a health care system can be classified into several categories, the majority of the disease burden globally comes from non-communicable diseases, with communicable diseases the second-most prevalent, followed by maternal, neonatal and nutritional diseases, and subsequently injuries.
This report summarizes incidence rates and trends of sexually transmitted infections from 2015 through 2023 among active component service members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The data compiled for this report are derived from the medical surveillance of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis as nationally notifiable diseases. Case data for two additional STIs, human papilloma virus and genital herpes simplex virus, are also presented.
Ambulatory visits of U.S. service members in fixed military and non-military (reimbursed through the Military Health System) hospitals and clinics are documented by standardized records routinely archived for health surveillance purposes in the Defense Medical Surveillance System. This report documents the frequencies, rates, trends, and characteristics of ambulatory health care visits in 2023 of active component members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force. Ambulatory visits not routinely and completely documented within fixed military and non-military hospitals and clinics (e.g., during deployments, field training exercises, or at sea) are not included in this analysis.
This report documents the frequencies, rates, trends, and distributions of hospitalization among active component members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Marine Corps in 2023.

Summaries are based on standardized hospitalization records at U.S. military and non-military (reimbursed through the Military Health System) medical facilities worldwide that are routinely maintained in the Defense Medical Surveillance System.
The U.S. Coast Guard is the only military service operating outside the authority of the Department of Defense. Coast Guard personnel are eligible to use DOD health care facilities, but as many service members are not stationed near a DOD installation, the Coast Guard operates primary care clinics in areas with sufficiently large Coast Guard populations. MSMR’s annual burden of disease reports are designed to provide accurate estimations of the general health status of U.S. military personnel, for prioritization of effective interventions with measurable impacts on force readiness.
