Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to all the witnesses here.
The first question I have is to Colonel MacKay.
As you're probably aware, the committee just completed a study on prescription drug abuse. My question to you is how serious prescription drug abuse is in the military. What is used, generally speaking, for pain maintenance? What we found out here was that there's a huge problem with opioids being over-prescribed and abused. Can you inform the committee what the scope of practice is in that field?
