We paid particular attention to military medicine this year to improve quality and access for our service members and their families.
Improve military medicine to better serve service members and their families.

Evidence
Fallon said the Military Personnel print was developed bipartisanly and included military-medicine changes: more eligible nurses for Military Treatment Facilities, direct hiring authority at remote installations, more dental access, and support for combat-medicine and trauma research.
The office reported Fallon’s response to the House Armed Services Committee’s 44-12 passage of the FY27 NDAA, following the Military Personnel print he had helped advance the day before.
Assessments
Fallon actively advanced concrete military-medicine provisions in the FY27 NDAA process, including staffing for Military Treatment Facilities, hiring authority at remote installations, dental access, and combat/trauma research. That is meaningful candidate credit in his current federal term, but the evidence shows committee-stage advancement rather than final enacted policy, so the promise is only partially delivered.
