Suspend the medical records screening system used on recruits

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 4, p. 102. Written by Christopher Miller.

Suspend the medical records screening system used on recruits

The document says “should”Who acts: DODHow: internal managementp. 102 in the PDF
What the document says

“Improve recruiting by suspending the use of the recently introduced MHS Genesis system”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 102

MHS Genesis draws on the private medical records of potential recruits at Military Entrance Processing Stations. The chapter says its use should be suspended because it creates delays and what the chapter calls unwarranted rejections. Recruiting shortfalls are the reason given.

What the document actually says

“Improve recruiting by suspending the use of the recently introduced MHS Genesis system”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 102
That sentence, in plain words

Stop using the new system. It looks up the health records of new recruits.

What this is about

A system pulls up the medical records of people who want to join. The book says it slows things down. It says it turns away people who should be allowed in. It wants the system paused.

Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing among the candidates concerns MHS Genesis, medical screening at Military Entrance Processing Stations, or access to the private medical records of potential recruits. None of them suspends the system or changes how recruits are screened. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
