Description of the demographic and injury characteristics of mild to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)/Operation New Dawn (OND) conflicts as well as other non–combat-related situations. Most of the mild TBIs occurred in combat locations, while most of the severe TBIs occurred in the United States. Blast-related TBIs were predominant in the OEF/OIF/OND cohort. The Clinical Tracking Form study has served as a significant resource of data to understand the long-term effect and outcomes of TBI in the military population.
