Medical Retention Determination Point (MRDP) -ANS-Within 1 year
-When the course of further recovery is relatively predictable
-When further treatment will not cause Soldier to meet medical retention standards
-When further treatment will not render Soldier capable of performing required duties

between: Doctors, Personnel managers, IDES
, -Determines if Soldier has the physical ability to perform primary MOS
