From 2000 through the first quarter of 2012, 244,217 service members sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) according to the Defense Department. The majority of those reported TBIs were mild TBI, also known as concussion,
and occurred in the non-deployed setting. Most individuals who sustain a mild TBI experience a complete resolution of symptoms within the first several days to weeks after the incident.

About the Military

U.S. Military 101 The "Basics" of the United States Military Reserve members fall within one of the four main branches of the military: Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy. Each branch has a group of reserves, but only the Air Force and Army attain a National Guard. In times of conflict and war, the President can call to duty all members of the reserves, but requires state approval for activation of the National Guard.
