Chapter 49 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section 976 the following new section: A military medical or dental position within the Department of Defense may not be converted to a civilian medical or dental position unless the Secretary of Defense determines that— the position is not a military essential position; conversion of the position would not result in the degradation of medical care or the medical readiness of the armed forces; and conversion of the position to a civilian medical or dental position is more cost effective than retaining the position as a military medical or dental position, consistent with Department of Defense Instruction 7041.04.
In this section: The term military medical or dental position means a position for the performance of health care functions within the armed forces held by a member of the armed forces. The term civilian medical or dental position means a position for the performance of health care functions within the Department of Defense held by an employee of the Department or of a contractor of the Department. The term military essential , with respect to a position, means that the position must be held by a member of the armed forces, as determined in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
The term conversion , with respect to a military medical or dental position, means a change of the position to a civilian medical or dental position, effective as of the date of the manning authorization document of the military department making the change (through a change in designation from military to civilian in the document, the elimination of the listing of the position as a military position in the document, or through any other means indicating the change in the document or otherwise). .
The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 49 of such title is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 976 the following new item: 977. Conversion of military medical and dental positions to civilian medical and dental positions: limitation. . Section 721 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 ( Public Law 110–181 ; 10 U.S.C. 129c note) is repealed.
