TL;DR: MSI cause considerable morbidity among Naval Special Warfare Operators and students, with distinct patterns of distribution by anatomic location and injury type.

TL;DR: The descriptive epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in this population underscores the need to explore the modifiable risk factors of potentially preventable lower extremity injuries associated with physical training and running.

TL;DR: Implementation of a population-specific training program provides structured and progressive training effectively and promotes physical readiness concurrently with tactical training without overload and tactically relevant performance.

TL;DR: The high risk of lower extremity injuries that occurred while marching under load during physical training, and the greater risk of injuries among women compared to men, indicates the need for further research to identify the components of combat Military Occupational Specialty specific training that could be modified to mitigate injuries.
