DOD
Unlike USDA and HHS, DOD has a process for assessing veterinarian workforce needs departmentwide. It has given this responsibility to the Army, which employs 89 percent of DOD veterinarians, with the remaining veterinarians working as public health officials for the Air Force.
The Army assesses not only the number and type of veterinarians it will need but also what will be needed for the other services. For example, Army veterinarians are routinely assigned to care for working dogs and other animals at Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine bases. Army veterinarians also conduct medical intelligence activities at the Defense Intelligence Agency. As the executive agency charged with assessing veterinarian workforce requirements for DOD, the Army takes all of these needs into consideration, then forwards the assessment results to DOD, which integrates them with overall workforce planning.
