Composite risk management
>
> Commanders
and trainers of IET Soldiers will utilize the principles and procedures established in FM 5-19.

Line of duty (LOD) investigations
>
> The
unit commander will ensure DA Form 2173 (Statement of Medical Examination and Duty Status) is completed
promptly and forwarded through channels to the appointing authority (see app endix H, para H-6 for further guidance).
The final LOD determination is vital for USAR/ARNG Soldiers who have sustained illnesses or injuries while in
training. Without an approved LOD determination RC Soldiers returning to their home are ineligible for medical
evaluation and care for their illness or injury. AR 600-8-4 prescribes the use of DA Form 2173, the primary record in
the LOD determination process.
