Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the opportunity to appear before this Subcommittee
to discuss the medical mission requirements of the Department of Defense
(DoD). My testimony will focus on the challenges facing DoD today in meeting
both its peacetime and wartime missions. I will cover a range of issues,
including:
- The readiness problems that DoD still faces, despite lower wartime requirements;
- The limited training for wartime that military medical personnel receive
during peacetime; and,
- An alternative approach to meeting the wartime mission by integrating military
medical care with the civilian sector.
