         April 16, 2009

         Congressional Committees

         Subject: Military Personnel: Status of Accession, Retention, and End Strength
         for Military Medical Officers and Preliminary Observations Regarding
         Accession and Retention Challenges

         This letter formally transmits the briefing (enc. I) we prepared in response to
         Senate Report 110-335 accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for
         Fiscal Year 2009. The Senate Report required the Comptroller General to conduct
         an assessment of medical and dental personnel requirements of the Departments
         of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, including their reserve components. To satisfy
         this requirement, we previously provided you on April 1, 2009 a copy of the draft
         briefing we sent to DOD for comment. DOD's comments are reprinted in
         enclosure II.

         We are also sending this letter and attached briefing to the Secretary of Defense
         and the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This letter and briefing will
         also be available on our Web site at http://w r.gao.gov. Should you or your staff
         have any questions concerning this product, please contact me at (202) 512-3604 or
         farrellb@gao.gov. Contact points for our Office of Congressional Relations and
         Public Affairs may be found on the last page of the briefing.
