BETHESDA, Md. — Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has launched the Rapid Assessment Program for Tactical Operational Readiness (RAPTOR), a new multidisciplinary diagnostic initiative designed to provide comprehensive evaluations for active duty service members, with a particular focus on rapid return-to-duty cases.
