defined in this PWS.
1.2 Background: MIARNG's mission is to provide properly maintained and equipped

emergencies or as otherwise required by state law. The Office of the State Surgeon
(OSS) supports these missions by achieving and sustaining a medically ready force.
The medical readiness standard is 90 percent, and dental readiness standard is 95
percent. MIARNG has over 8,000 service members (SMs) who require annual IMR
services, of which 10% are deficient in one or more key medical readiness elements.
Approximately 1,000 of these SMs will require IMR services outside of annual Medical
Readiness Events (MREs). These requirements are designed to be flexible, responsive,
and meet the ever-evolving needs of the government.

Michigan, specifically in Calhoun, Crawford, Eaton, Ingham, Kalamazoo, Kent,
