1.0.0 - trial-use United States of America flag

HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide: Military Service History and Status Release 1 - US Realm | STU1, published by Cross Group Projects WG. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 1.0.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/fhir-military-service/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: Military Occupation

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/military-service/StructureDefinition/military-service-Occupation Version: 1.0.0
Active as of 2025-10-06 Computable Name: MilitaryOccupation

The profile reuses the ODH PastOrPresentJob profile to apply it specifically to military jobs/occupations. The observation resource that conforms to this specification is referenced by Military Service Episode.
