The US military's healthcare system is ill-equipped to handle the potential casualties of large-scale conflict with a major power like China. Experts have warned Congress that the Military Health System lacks the necessary capacity and has urged revitalization of the National Disaster Medical System to enhance military-civilian medical collaborations. Currently, the system struggles even in peacetime, raising serious concerns about its readiness. The need for a stronger framework is imperative to mitigate the substantial challenges anticipated during prolonged combat operations.
The Military Health System does not have the capacity to care for every casualty. To think that somehow we can do this on our own is another mistaken belief.
We're short 300,000 nurses nationwide, and the existing system is already overwhelmed. The current challenges are more than it can handle.
