(1) Review existing policies, procedures, and
practices relating to the coordination and
sharing of resources between the two Depart-
ments.
(2) Identify changes in policies, procedures,
and practices that, in the judgment of the
Committee, would promote mutually bene-
ficial coordination, use, or exchange of use of
services and resources of the two Depart-
ments, with the goal of improving the quality,
efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery of
benefits and services to veterans, service
members, military retirees, and their families
through an enhanced Department of Veterans
Affairs and Department of Defense partner-
ship, including with respect to job training
and post-service placement.
(3) Identify and assess further opportunities
for the coordination and collaboration be-
tween the Departments that, in the judgment
of the Committee, would not adversely affect
the range of services, the quality of care, or
the established priorities for benefits provided
by either Department.
(4) Review the plans of both Departments for
the acquisition of additional resources, espe-
cially new facilities and major equipment and
technology, in order to assess the potential ef-
fect of such plans on further opportunities for
the coordination and sharing of resources.

designed to promote the coordination and
sharing of resources between the Departments.
