Naval Medical Research and Development News. Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2015

Abstract

2014 was a great year for Navy Medicine Research and Development and I think 2015 is going to be even better. I highlighted a few of the enterprise accomplishments last month, but I want to direct your attention to the U.S. Navy 2014 Year in Review, which you can find by clicking on this link to our Facebook page. Weve had personnel from NMRC, NAMRU-2, NAMRU-3,and NAMRU-6 deployed to Liberia and it is great to see their efforts highlighted as a major Navy accomplishment. Of course, work in Liberia and elsewhere is continuing into 2015. For some great examples, I refer you to the latest issue of Scrubbing In which focuses on several of the ongoing efforts at NMRC. The New Year is going to bring many changes including some changes in leadership. The Surgeon General recently released his slate of new Commanding Officers and Executive Officers. This year CAPT Jacqueline Rychnovsky will become the CO and CAPT Eric Hall will become the XO at the Naval Medical Research Center. CAPT Rita Simmons will become the CO at the Naval Health Research Center. CAPT Frederick Yeo will become the CO and CDR Thomas Herzig will become the XO at the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory. CAPT Elizabeth Montcalm-Smith will become the CO at the Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio. CAPT Marva Wheeler will become the CO at the Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2. CAPT Adam Armstrong will become the CO and CDR Guillermo Pimentel will be the XO at the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 6. I want to congratulate each of these officers and I am very excited about what they will be bringing to their new commands and positions.
