You would be a great King.
I will add that SG says having an "all reserve" military medical force isn't feasible because we need to be able to "fight tonight". Not sure why a reservist can't be able to fight tonight. We could all be practicing civilians on 3 or 6 month rotations during which we understand that we could be called up at a moments notice. You maintain your civilian practice and if you get called up, you mobilize. It would be similar to the European military medical scenario of getting dropped in for 1 to 3 months at a time and then getting pulled right back out and back in clinic or your civilian OR the following week. We would then do away with the 3 to 6 months of hurry up and wait "trainups" with our operational units just to go somewhere and either do nothing medical or do basic wartime casualty care. A 6 month deployment turns in to 12 months when you add trainups and demobe to the front and back end. Instead of inefficient war trainups we could utilize our two weeks every summer for hardcore operational training instead of just getting paid to travel to some hospital and barely check in to said hospital and doing NO work before you have to check out and head back home.
Complete dissolution of an active component is tough to imagine. Super small component? Maybe. Perhaps whatever is left of the active component maintains the overseas billets which are strategic to "areas of concern" who might need to fight tonight. Then the reservists can back fill those hospitals within 24 to 48 hours or be sent on to the real fight. But to be honest, you want your civilian (reservists) who are practicing regularly at shock trauma or other Level I centers on the regular to be the ones treating our wounded.
Could we require reservist medical personnel to live/work within 6 hours of a major military base allowing them to be on the flight line within 24 hours ready to deploy? Just spit-balling here for when one of us gets heard
This is essential. If we aren't going to maintain AD docs and MTF's to treat our dependents and beneficiaries (let alone our AD guys/gals) then Tricare needs to be a well respected program within the civilian world...otherwise our military members and families will be treated like dirt.
