What is a common consequence of failing to maintain accurate IMR records?

• A. Delayed placement on a unit's deployment roster or non-deployable status due to missing or incorrect data
• B. Immediate deployment
• C. No effect on deployment
• D. Automatic promotion

Answer: (D)

Keeping IMR records accurate is essential for confirming a service member’s medical readiness for deployment. When data are missing or incorrect, you can’t reliably verify readiness, so the service member is typically delayed from deployment or deemed non-deployable until the records are corrected and verified. The other options don’t fit because inaccurate IMR data don’t trigger immediate deployment, aren’t without effect on deployment, and are not tied to automatic promotions.
