For recovering service members (RSMs) there are two options including the Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) or the Legacy Disability Evaluation System (LDES).

The process of evaluating a Service Member’s fitness for duty is conducted through the Disability Evaluation System (DES).

Understanding the Disability Evaluation SystemĪfter a serious injury or illness, a wounded warrior’s fitness for duty may need to be assessed to determine if they are capable of continuing to perform military duties. Although you will find this toolkit to be useful, you should regularly refer your questions to the subject matter experts, such as your physical evaluation board liaison officer (PEBLO), Limited Duty (LIMDU) coordinators, or Wounded Warrior Regiment staff. This toolkit is intended to provide quick links to resources and information to assist Marines, families, and staff as they navigate the Department of Navy (DoN) Integrated Evaluation System (IDES) process.
