Description

In February 2005, GAO reportedthat weaknesses in the Army'sActive Duty Medical Extension(ADME) process caused injuredand ill Army National Guard andReserve (reserve component)soldiers to experience gaps in payand benefits. During the course ofGAO's previous work, the Armyimplemented the Medical RetentionProcessing (MRP) program in May2004 and Community-Based HealthCare Initiative (CBHCI) in March2004. CBHCI allows reservecomponent soldiers on MRP ordersto return home and receive medicalcare through a civilian health careprovider. As directed bycongressional mandate, GAOdetermined whether (1) MRP hasresolved the pay issues previouslyidentified with ADME and (2) theArmy has the metrics it needs todetermine whether it is effectivelymanaging CBHCI program risks.GAO's scope did not include themedical, facilities, or disabilityratings issues recently reported bythe media at Walter Reed ArmyMedical Center.
