    .descriptionTo promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile is based on the base [FHIR Vital Signs Profile](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation-vitalsigns.html) and defines *additional* constraints on the Observation resource to represent vital signs observations. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases. This US Core profiles that are derived from this profile are listed below.A Combat Zone Period Observation is a clinical statement indicating the self-reported date range(s)when a person worked in what is considered a combat zone. Both civilian workers, such as Department of Defense contractors, and military service members could have worked in combat zones. Many people who have served in the military seek care first outside of the Veterans Health Administration system. Collecting this observation can facilitate important conversations about possible related health concerns, potentially prompting referral to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA).
