Pentagon resumes mandatory testosterone screening for troops
–
Neutral summary
The Pentagon on Thursday issued new clinical guidance reinstating mandatory testosterone deficiency screening for male service members aged 30 and older on active duty and in the reserves. The program, first announced in July by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has promoted testosterone use for military readiness, was temporarily paused in early September for updates. Medical experts have criticized the initiative as unnecessary and potentially harmful, warning that improper testosterone prescription could increase health risks. Separate guidance for female service members is expected later.
