Approximately 150 dental personnel from all branches military service, along with participants from thirteen NATO and Allied partner nations took part in the 66th Annual Dental Health Symposium in Garmisch Oct. 29-31. The overall purpose of the symposium was to develop a combat ready medical force and to strengthen relationships with allies and partner nations. Symposiums like this are critical to improving readiness of the dental force and dental readiness of the fighting force. They also develop a combat ready medical force that is tactically and technically proficient and better positioned to fulfill the role of a supporting organization and provide dental readiness to supported units.
