Abstract
Background: Musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) has been identified as a threat to the effectiveness and productivity of military training organisations globally. The burden on the medical chain,occupational disposal and the loss of working days due to temporary functional restriction challenges organisational efficiency and ultimately operational capability whilst also representing a signifi cant socioeconomic burden.The British Ministry of Defence (MoD) has a moral, legal and professional responsibility to reduce the likelihood of avoidable injuries through sound risk assessment, application of best practice and determining effective prevention strategies.
