With the war on terrorism raging, the spotlight justifiably is on the Army's medics, evacuation units, surgical teams and field hospitals in the theater of war.
Yet the Army Medical Department is also a seamless chain of care stretching back to fixed hospitals in Europe and the United States, where soldiers receive state-of-the-art care.
Field medical units are under the command of the combat commanders, because their movements and work must be coordinated with those of fighting forces.
The fixed hospitals, on the other hand, are commanded by the U.S. Army Medical Command.
The challenge for Army medicine is (1) how to provide medical leadership for field units while respecting combat commander's "ownership" and (2) how to integrate the work of field and fixed units.
The Army maintains a central recruiting and examining organization for the Army Medical Department's civilian medical positions. The organization, the North Central Civilian Personnel Operations Center's Medical Cell, is located at Rock Island, Ill.
