The Minnesota Medical Detachment (MED DET) oversees the “health of the force” for the Minnesota Army National Guard. This is completed by conducting medical readiness events during the once monthly open clinic as well as during Soldier Readiness Processing (SRP) events. The purpose is to field a medically fit and ready National Guard to support both state and federal objectives. The MED DET also maintains a ready reserve of individual Soldiers available for cross level assignment to mobilizing MNARNG units.
