DEFENSE HEALTH CARE: Status of Efforts to Address Lack of Compliance with Personality Disorder Separation Requirements

摘要

In summary, our 2008 review found that the documented compliance with DOD's requirements for personality disorder separations varied by requirement and by military installation. Additionally, we found that DOD did not have reasonable assurance that its key personality disorder separation requirements had been followed by the military services. Since our 2008 review, DOD has taken some action to implement our recommendations. However, we have not verified whether the actions the services planned or reported to DOD to increase compliance were actually realized. Because the military services have not demonstrated full compliance with DOD's personality disorder separation requirements, we reiterate the importance of DOD implementing our 2008 recommendations.
