Under a new Defense Health Agency that will begin operation Oct. 1, the Pentagon expects to save $2.4 billion over the next six years, according to Nextgov.

The Defense Department will do this by consolidating functions previously performed by the three services and the Tricare Management Activity. DHA, with a staff of 1,039 and headed by Air Force Lt. Gen. Douglas Robb , will achieve these savings by providing common shared services for the TRICARE Health Plan, information technology, medical logistics and facilities management.
