Command and Control of the Army Dental Care System

Abstract

The Army Medical Department is currently undertaking a reorganization. U.S. Army Health Services Command will be disestablished with the creation of a new Medical Major Command colocated with the Office of the Surgeon General in the National Capital Region. A review of the history of the Army Dental Care System reveals that a previous reorganization was devastating to the morale and efficiency of Army Dentistry. The Dental Corps has overcome these problems and today the Army Dental Care System is a superbly efficient organization. The attributes which have created this efficiency must be maintained in any reorganization. This paper outlines the proposed structure for the Army Medical Department and recommends modifications that will preserve those attributes.
