Forged by the T: Pentagon launches testosterone screening program for troops

Posted on Updated on

BLUF – The Pentagon announced a new program that will incorporate annual testosterone deficiency screening into routine health assessments for service members age 30 and older, with optional testing for younger troops and voluntary testosterone replacement therapy when medically indicated, as part of an effort to optimize physical and psychological readiness. For Navy Medicine, the initiative could expand the role of military clinicians in endocrine screening, evidence-based hormone management, and long-term performance optimization, while raising important questions about clinical guidelines, implementation standards, and how hormone health fits into broader warfighter readiness programs.
