All active-duty service members would receive more thorough annual health screenings starting in 2026, including EKGs and comprehensive blood panels. These tests can catch hidden heart conditions and other serious health issues before they become life-threatening, which is especially important given the physical demands of military service. Currently, standard military checkups don't always include these tests, meaning dangerous conditions can go undetected.
