National Military Civilian Medical Surge Program Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense, working with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to run a permanent Military-Civilian Medical Surge Program. The program would set up partnerships with civilian hospitals, academic medical centers, and other health organizations at no fewer than eight U.S. locations that serve as air medical or transport hubs. These partnerships would let civilian medical staff support military medical facilities during national emergencies, public health emergencies, wars, contingency operations, or presidentially declared disasters. The Secretary of Defense would report to Congress each year on the program's status and readiness, and the bill states it does not change Health and Human Services' authority over the National Disaster Medical System.
