<p>Testimony of VADM Donald C. Arthur, Medical Corps, Surgeon General, United States Navy Before the House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Military Personnel.<br><br>"Chairman McHugh, Ranking Member Snyder, distinguished members of the subcommittee, I welcome the opportunity to testify before your committee to share with you how Navy Medicine continues to provide quality, economical health care to all our beneficiaries -- active duty, military retirees, and their eligible family members. We are committed to meeting our expanding and diverse missions such as: combat service support, global war on terror, homeland security, and an increasing humanitarian role in addition to the traditional health care benefit. At the same time, Navy Medicine is working closely with the Chief of Naval Operations and the Commandant of the Marine Corps in refining our role as a peace multiplier and defensive weapon system; a key component in the evolving mission of the Navy-Marine Corps team. Navy Medicine, as part of the medical force of the future, must be capable of fully supporting joint operational efforts across the entire range of military operations."<br></p>
