Dental Support for the Army After Next.

Abstract

The Army Dental Corps has consistently provided urgent, routine, and specialty care to soldiers during times of peace and war. Throughout history, as the Army changed (size of the force, types of missions, speed of deployments, the amount of forward presence, etc.), the Dental Corps adjusted and continued to support. The next 20+ years will likely see the most dramatic changes in the Army, with unparalleled technological advances (Revolution in Military Affairs, RMA), new combat scenarios, new force structure, etc. The Army After Next (AAN) will continue to be a great Army but it will be a different Army. This paper focuses on the likely dental support requirements for this future Army. A detailed examination of the best possible Dental Corps structure, taking into account the Revolution in Dental Affairs (RDA), dental officer career paths, Graduate Dental Education (GDE), and outsourcing, to support the AAN is presented.
