Subject
Summary:

Since 1994, the Defense Department (DOD) and the military services have produced several estimates of wartime medical personnel requirements. The National Defense Authorization Act of 1996 requires GAO to study the reasonableness of the models each military service uses to determine appropriate wartime medical personnel force levels. DOD recently embarked on, but has yet to complete, another major wartime medical requirements study. This study is expected to modify the data contained in the service models and is intended to produce a unified DOD position on medical requirements. This report addresses the service models' results, their methodologies, and their inclusion of active duty and reserve medical personnel. A separate report will examine DOD's updated wartime medical requirements study and, to the extent needed, address any remaining issues associated with the service models.
