The Defense Health Agency began life on October 1, 2013, when the Defense Department stood it up as a defense agency, and its remit has grown steadily since. By November 2022 it had completed the transfer of all 736 military medical facilities, stateside and overseas, from the military departments, and in October 2023 it swapped the 22-office market structure it built for the job for a network structure of nine management offices, an arc the Government Accountability Office documents in detail. The upshot for civilian candidates: the hospitals and clinics now sit under one agency rather than under three military departments.
The Defense Health Agency hires federal civilians for the military health system it manages, clinical and administrative careers attached to hospitals, clinics, and headquarters functions.
