Maj Robert Thornton I see the draft coming back if we go to war to get personnel to fill medical positions.

Unfortunately, Cpl Vic Burk, that takes time. We need a medical/surgical system in place that can be gone air transported in days, not months. When I was active, I was on mobility, a bag packed and ready to go at all times. We had the personnel we could send anywhere in the world. Reservist would be brought on to active to back fill the hospitals from where we were mobilized. I just don’t know if we have the force to do that now.

Friedrichs noted there is $10 billion of unfunded facility needs in DOD and $100 billion in VA. There are opportunities to bring patients with acute care needs from the VA into DOD facilities, or bring DOD medical personnel into VA medical facilities, he said, “so that we are not wasting money on duplicative buildings and instead focusing our resources on the patients who need our care.”
