What additional requirement must members fulfill when returning from military leave exceeding 1 year?

When members return from military leave that exceeds one year, they must complete several requirements to ensure their readiness to reintegrate into their roles. Specifically, a background investigation is necessary to confirm the member's eligibility and integrity given the extended absence. Additionally, a medical examination is mandated to assess the member’s physical fitness for duty, taking into account any changes in health that may have occurred during their time away. Lastly, training is required as determined by the department to update the returning member on any changes in policies, procedures, or skills that have developed in their absence. Collectively, these measures are put in place to ensure that returning members are fit for duty and fully prepared to meet the current demands of their positions.
