How many medical personnel, and what kind, are needed in wartime? Military is still trying to figure that out
By: Karen Jowers  
Defense officials haven’t yet figured out the size and mix of operational medical and dental personnel needed for wartime, according to government auditors.
And until DoD puts together joint planning criteria for developing these personnel requirements, it “won’t know whether it has the optimal requirements to achieve its missions,†according to a report released Feb. 21 by the Government Accountability Office.
The Army, Navy and Air Force don’t have a common method of determining their medical and dental personnel requirements during wartime, GAO auditors said.
