This article, "The Strategic Survivability Triad: The Future of Military Medicine in Support of Combat Power," was published in Joint Force about a year ago (thank you very much, NDU Press). This concept was drafted in the late summer of 2020, and the initial draft was completed in April 2021. This article intended to add to the fund of knowledge of medicine, inspire others (especially the next generation of those who care for our warfighters), and honor our warfighters. I sincerely hope this work is additive to the relentless work being done to improve operational medicine. https://lnkd.in/e-pcyvuS

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Their courage and patriotism have not only protected our nation but have also significantly contributed to advancing clinical research and medical breakthroughs. Throughout history, the military has been instrumental in developing life-saving treatments, preventive measures, and medical technologies that have had a profound impact on countless lives. From antimalarial drugs to trauma care innovations, their sacrifices have paved the way for groundbreaking progress in healthcare. An exemplary instance is the establishment of the U.S. Army's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 1893, known for its pioneering work in preventative medicine, including the development of the first successful yellow fever vaccine. Military clinicians and researchers have tirelessly strived to enhance health outcomes for both military personnel and civilians, even in challenging conditions. On this Memorial Day, we express our deep gratitude to the fallen heroes and the dedicated individuals who have advanced scientific knowledge through their service. Their commitment to protecting and improving human life through medical innovation is truly inspiring and a testament to the noblest of causes. Let us honor their legacy by reaffirming our support for clinical research that continues their impactful work. Their sacrifices remind us of the importance of striving for medical progress to enhance and save lives. We will always remember and appreciate their service. #drugdiscovery #drugdevelopment #studystartup #clinicaltrials #healthcare #clinicalresearch #patientrecruitment #sitemanagement #clinicaldevelopment #clinicaltrial #clinicaloperations #clinicalstudy #clinicalsupply

NDMS Partners Day at Ultimate Caduceus Exercise 2024 A unique demonstration of medical response capabilites at the intersection of military and civilian operations. Incredible performance by the USAF 60th Medical Group to bring so many interagency partners to the table to practice how we play. This challenging scenario "broke the system" several times but the partners worked through the friction over several days to achieve the necessary synergies. Key Learning: Steady state siloed health systems require significantly more coordination for regionally integrated medical surge operations.

The Defense Health Agency commemorates the 22nd anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001—a searing moment in American history that remains all too vivid for many today. Not only were military medical personnel critical in treating and saving lives of victims of the attack on the Pentagon, but our military medical forces also responded to ground zero in New York. Many of the medical heroes of 9/11 continue to serve their country and patients, even 22 years later. Delivering deployed medical support and combat medicine in the 22 years since the 9/11 attacks has revolutionized many fields of military medicine. We want to recognize advances in the MHS since 9/11 and highlight how military medicine contributes to medical practice. Medical advances since 9/11 continue to improve care for service members, dependents and retirees, help service members recover from illness and injury, and save lives in our local communities.

#DYK? Women are more directly involved in combat operations today than ever before, yet they continue to be underrepresented in military research. In a recent study, Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence researchers from Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, Naval Medical Center San Diego, and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center along with National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) researchers, looked at the effects of gender on mild #TBI symptoms and the role of post-traumatic stress disorder on symptom reporting.
