On this week’s edition of On DoD, we continue our series of conversations with leaders from the Defense Health Agency as it gears up to declare full operational capability on Oct. 1. Our guest this week is Brig. Gen. Robert Miller, the director of the Training and Education directorate at DHA – one of six directorates that make up the agency. Miller is also the commandant of the Medical Education and Training Campus at Joint Base San Antonio. He talked with Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu about the 12 priorities his new directorate has taken on over the past year and how METC has consolidated the military’s training programs for enlisted medical personnel.
