Since the end of WWII, the question of whether to create a unified military health system has arisen repeatedly. Despite a variety of answers to this question, the system has largely retained its traditional structure, with separate Army, Navy and Air Force medical departments. This book documents research on the organization of the military health system. It considers 5 alternative organizational structures for their likely impact on peacetime health care and wartime readiness.
