Richard Blumenthal actually said...

Many of us on this Committee have been concerned about the lack of interoperability of the Army medical records with the VA records.

Just so I understand, I use the term but what does that mean?

And that could be in the course of the individual soldier's entire service? Or over what period of time?

how will DOD coordinate with VA and what will be the priorities as we continue the expected reductions in end strength?
