As two Surgeon Generals serving during these years note, the\u003cbr\u003e1990s saw enormous erosion in military medicine with degraded clinical capability. This work describes the efforts made to realize improvement in treatment, which has ultimately provided international rewards after the military experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.
