The Defense Department is asking wounded service members to complete an online survey to talk about their experiences in the military health system, as well as how it could be improved.

There are two questionnaires, one for wounded, ill or injured troops and one for family members. Both are anonymous.

“These questionnaires are part of Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ commitment to supporting wounded, ill and injured service members: ensuring that their care is the DoD’s top priority,” said Charlene Reynolds, a spokeswoman for Gates. “This care is continually improving, but (military health system) leaders realize that there is still more to be done.”

The survey is available on the Military Health System Web site. Results and analysis will be available in November.
