#2 DOD is very sensitive about possible TBI injuries. If you were even possibly injured you will be screened for evidence of injury. Every deployer undergoes a form of neuropsych eval prior to deployment so they can be assessed for changes in that test. It's likely that this is the reason for the subsequent 'late' evacuation after a local interview indicates possible TBI.
