FORCE-FIT Act

This bill would start a 5-year pilot in the military health system (TRICARE) to give continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to certain active-duty service members. The goal is to see if real-time tracking and early help can improve members’ health and overall military readiness. Service members marked as Partially Medically Ready or Not Medically Ready would have to take part. Participants would also get information on metabolic health and services to help improve readiness .

The bill sets clear privacy rules. Health data from the devices can be used only for the pilot, for medical care, and to run the readiness program. It cannot be used to separate or discharge someone from the military. Companies that provide the devices cannot keep or reuse members’ data and must delete it after allowed use. The program also includes in-person training for military medical staff. Independent reviews are required: a report at year 3 and final assessments at year 5 to decide if the program should continue .

• Who is affected: Active-duty service members, especially those not fully medically ready; military medical staff .
• What changes: CGMs provided under TRICARE; health education; in-person training; strict data protections and limits on data use .
• When: Pilot lasts 5 years; review at year 3; final reviews at year 5.
