A significant proportion of U.S. military personnel who served in the Gulf War have reported various health problems following their service, some of which remain unexplained.

The Center for Military Health Policy Research, a joint endeavor of RAND Health, the National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), and the Arroyo Center, has conducted a series of studies to develop baseline scientific and medical information about the possible causes of Gulf War Illnesses and to investigate various policy issues.
