“…The first phase was a comparative analysis of compensation between uniformed and private-sector health care professionals at logical military career junctures [2,3,4]. This analysis was an essential first step because we needed to understand whether a militarycivilian pay gaps exists, how large it is, and at what career junctures to evaluate the effect of pay on retention during the second phase of this study.…”

The primary mission of the MHS and the three Service medical departments is force health protection. This readiness mission involves providing medical support in combat and other military operations and maintaining the day-to-day health of about 1.5 million men and women who serve in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps. The second mission is to provide a health care benefit to nearly 6.6 million other people who are eligible to use the MHS. Because the Department of Defense (DOD) relies on a single force to meet the sometimes disparate missions, it must cultivate a workforce that is dedicated to caring for patients, committed to continuous improvement in performance and productivity, and competent in both wartime and peacetime. This challenge is particularly difficult because uniformed health care professionals are costly to access and train, and they have skills that are in demand in the private sector.

This challenge is particularly difficult because uniformed health care professionals are costly to access and train, and they have skills that are in demand in the private sector.Congressional awareness of this mandate and competition from the private sector for qualified health care professionals resulted in the following committee language in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001:The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review and to report to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Represe...
