REPORT TO THE CONGRESSIONAL ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEES: SECTION 719 OF THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 : Department of Defense , July , 2021
From the executive summary: "In response to section 717 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 (Public Law 116-283), section 719(c) of the NDAA for FY 2020 (Public Law 116-92) and sections 721 and 725 of the NDAA for FY 2017 (Public Law 114-328), the Department of Defense (DoD) submits this report on the plan for optimizing the military medical end strength to meet operational requirements. The various sections identified in the three NDAAs authorize the DoD to convert military medical or dental positions to civilian positions, if the Secretary of Defense determines that the military positions are not necessary to meet operational medical force readiness requirements. The legislation also provides specific limitations and exceptions for the realignment or reduction of military medical end strength authorizations. This report represents the collaborative efforts of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (OASD(HA)), the Military Departments (MILDEPs), the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Defense Health Agency (DHA)."
