Track military blast exposure and toxic exposures

Warren says the Defense Department should track service members’ blast exposure and use the information to improve understanding of brain injuries, protective equipment, treatments, and troop safety guidance, including by limiting non-combat exposure during training. She also proposes recording potential toxic exposures on the post-deployment checklist and funding research into diseases that may be linked to those exposures. She says affected veterans should receive care without delay.
