Left of Bang: USU’s ARMORR Pushes Warfighter Care Ahead of Injury
BLUF – The article describes the Uniformed Services University’s new Advanced Research in Military Optimization, Readiness, and Rehabilitation (ARMORR) center, which embeds multidisciplinary human performance teams directly within operational units to prevent musculoskeletal injuries, optimize performance, and improve readiness before service members require medical treatment—shifting care “left of bang” from rehabilitation to prevention. For Navy Medicine, ARMORR reflects a broader transformation toward embedding medical expertise closer to the fleet and operational forces, emphasizing injury prevention, nutrition, sleep, hydration, and human performance as core elements of operational readiness rather than services delivered primarily in military treatment facilities.
