• A Year in Military Health
  

  The Military Health System experienced significant changes during 2018, with the planning for and starting the transition of Phase One MTFs to the authority, direction, and control of DHA. Congress called for changes in the Military Health System in the National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017 and Fiscal Year 2019, which redefined the roles of the military medical departments and the Defense Health Agency (DHA), specifically with respect to administration of military hospitals and clinics.
