US Army Medical Department Mission & Bio

MISSION STATEMENT:

We develop leaders and drive change in Army Medicine to prepare the Army to compete and win in large scale ground combat operations (LSCO) against peer threats in multi-domain contested environments, no later than 2028.

It was established as the "Army Hospital"​ in July 1775 to coordinate the medical care required by the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. The AMEDD is led by the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army.

The AMEDD is the U.S. Army's healthcare organization. Its headquarters is at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas, which hosts the AMEDD Center and School (AMEDDC&S). Large numbers of AMEDD senior leaders can also be found in the Washington D.C. area, divided between the Pentagon and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC).

The Academy of Health Sciences, within the AMEDDC&S, provides training to the officers and enlisted service members of the AMEDD.
