What is a necessary action by the UDM before personnel deployment?

Ensuring that medical clearances are completed is a necessary action by the UDM before personnel deployment because it is crucial for the health and safety of the deploying personnel. Each member must meet medical standards to ensure they are fit for duty in the deployment environment. Medical clearances help to identify any health issues that could affect performance or create hazards in the field, both for the individual and their unit.

Incorporating this action into the deployment process mitigates risks associated with health problems that could arise during deployment. It also helps in ensuring that personnel can effectively carry out their responsibilities and be resilient against the potential challenges they may face in a deployed setting. Thus, confirming that all medical requirements and clearances are satisfied is fundamental to a successful deployment.
