"Going green," when it comes to readiness, includes gaining and maintaining Dental Fitness Class (DFC) 1 or 2, which is the absence of DFC 3 conditions that could cause a dental emergency within a year. Emergency conditions can compromise mission accomplishment and negatively impact overall heath while causing pain and discomfort. Dental fitness is a key force protection initiative!

Class 2: Worldwide Deployable with need for non-urgent routine treatment.

Class 3: Nondeployable without treatment for urgent conditions that likely will cause a dental emergency within 12 months.
