| Summary: | This study aims to examine the timing and rationale behind the need to reform the United States (US) Military Health System (MHS) and the ongoing reform initiatives and to assess the implications for Türkiye's defense and security. The MHS has been evaluated conceptually and functionally using information from US Congressional reports, secondary sources, data on transformation and reform efforts, expert opinions, and publicly available information. This study has been conducted as qualitative research employing inductive coding to extract themes related to health management, integrated health services, innovation, and combat readiness. A key study finding shows that there will be an increasing demand for small, swift, mobile, and highly skilled health units and personnel within military health organizations as the complexity of the combat environment escalates. Furthermore, it appears that the humanitarian capabilities of military health in international politics can significantly influence the strategic maneuverability of policy decisions. The timing of the US reform is interpreted as indicative of major regional conflicts, reinforcing the need for Türkiye to reform its national military health system in alignment with its defense industry by 2030 the latest. Key reform areas identified for military health systems include innovation, operational medicine, reorganization, and integrated record systems. |
