Abstract
The US Department of Defense (DoD) and the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA)
are the two institutions responsible for the medical care of military personnel and
Veterans. DOD major policy and operational personnel changes impact the VA by
modifying the characteristics of Veterans presenting at the VA for medical health care.
The challenges to VA resulting from DOD changes over the past four decades include
managing the large influx to the VA of aging Veterans; accommodating the Veterans
from OEF/OIF; responding to the expanded role of female service members in DoD;
accepting increased numbers of National Guard and Reserve Components resulting from
extended deployment and expanded operational role.
