October Message from the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
MHS Team:
As the Defense Health Agency formally assumes responsibility for management
of MTFs across the United States, I commend your continued commitment and
hard work across all levels of the MHS to ensure our warfighters maintain
the military medical combat support capabilities we provide, our patients
see no disruption of quality or access to the healthcare delivery services
they depend on, and our collective efforts to deliver on an implementation
plan to make this transition a success. You are part of an historic
transformation in military medicine – thank you for your service to the
nation during this pivotal period of change. While we have accomplished much
to date, much work remains, and I know you will continue to deliver at the
same high level as this work continues.
In addition to business reform, the MHS continues to build critical
partnerships to advance readiness and operational support. Recently, I
joined Acting Commissioner Dr. Ned Sharpless and his staff at the Food and
Drug Administration for the FDA-DoD semi-annual meeting to discuss our
continued, close partnership to ensure delivery of critical battlefield
medicine to our service members downrange. Over the past two years of
enhanced collaboration between the DoD and FDA, we’ve achieved a number of
successes to advance warfighter readiness and improve overall battlefield
trauma response. We’ve established Emergency Use Authorization for
freeze-dried plasma in initial hemorrhage control efforts as part of
battlefield trauma care, approved drugs for battlefield pain control and
infectious disease threats, and increased the Department’s access to
platelets for injured warfighters in theater. These successes are already
yielding dividends in building a better prepared, better protected, and
better cared for force, equipping the U.S. warfighter with the best possible
military medical support. A special thanks to Dr. Terry Rauch and the DoD
team for your hard work on this critical partnership – including LTC
Colacicco-Mayhugh, RADM (Ret) Carmen Maher, Ms. Kathy Berst, Mr. Nathan
Pawlicki, COL Jennifer Kishimori, Mr. Jeremiah Kelly, Ms. Emily
Badraslioglu, and Ms. Jennifer Dabisch.
Our partnership efforts within the MHS continue to develop as well. I had
the opportunity to join the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE),
the 10 Intrepid Spirit Centers (ISC), and the Center for the Intrepid (CFI)
to discuss progress and areas of focus as the MHS continues to develop the
best care and treatment for the more than 172,000 patient encounters – seen
this year alone – related to traumatic brain injury and associated health
conditions. With new improvements for treatment and care, including NICoE’s
TBI Portal – which, in collaboration with the Defense Health Agency and the
ISCs, consolidates TBI patient data to better inform clinical decision
making and treatment – the MHS is building a collaborative network of TBI
research, education, and care to enhance warfighter readiness. Special
thanks to NICoE Director CAPT Walter Greenhalgh, NCR Director Brig. Gen.
Anita Fligge, Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund Honorary Chairman Mr. Arnold
Fisher, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Director COL Andrew
Barr, and our talented colleagues across the University and the Defense and
Veterans Brain Injury Center for advancing the MHS’s partnership and best
practices that are putting military medicine at the global forefront to
prevent and respond to TBI.
On a final note, we bid farewell to Vice Adm. Forrest Faison as the 38th
surgeon general of the Navy, as he retires after 39 years of service to the
Nation. On behalf of the entire MHS, thank you for your passionate
commitment to the military medical enterprise and to the soldiers, sailors,
airmen, Marines, Coast Guard members and the families who the MHS supports
and cares for.

Vice Adm. C. Forrest Faison, III, Retires as Navy’s 38th Surgeon General
Story by Angela Ciancio (original link here)
WASHINGTON (NNS) – Vice Adm. C. Forrest Faison, III, the Navy’s 38th Surgeon General, celebrated the culmination of 39 years of active duty service at a retirement ceremony at the Navy Yard in Washington, DC, Oct. 25, 2019.
Secretary of the Navy, Richard V. Spencer presided over the ceremony, and former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson, USN (Ret.), gave remarks.
“I’m particularly grateful for the steady hand Admiral Faison provided in our military medical transformation efforts, strengthening readiness and increasing maneuverability. Thanks to his efforts and the hard work of all of our Navy medical professionals, the Department is better prepared to confront a complex world & respond wherever needed,” said Spencer.
The ceremony commemorated both Faison’s career as well as the role of Navy Medicine in the support to the daily readiness of the Fleet and Marine Corps.
“It has been the privilege of a lifetime to honor the trust placed in our hands by those we serve and their families,” said Faison. “The Navy Medicine team is ready and dedicated to doing everything within our power to provide those we serve with the best care our nation can offer so that each Sailor and Marine can return home safely and alive.”
A native of Norfolk, Virginia and Cleveland, Ohio, Faison graduated from Rocky River High School in Cleveland. He went on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Wake Forrest University in 1980 and received a commission as a Naval officer through the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in 1980, completing his medical degree in 1984 at USUHS. He is also a board certified and a Distinguished Professor of Military Medicine and an associate clinical professor in pediatrics.
During his tenure as Surgeon General, Faison led the way as Navy Medicine redefined itself from a primarily military treatment facility-based care model to a readiness focused, critical wartime enterprise in support of operational medical platforms and enhanced Fleet and Marine Corps Operational unit integration.
Among his many contributions to improving Navy Medicine, Faison dedicated himself to ensuring Hospital Corpsmen were prepared to fight tonight as he directed a comprehensive review, rewrite and update of the Hospital Corpsman “A” school curriculum. His attention to the Hospital Corpsman trauma training curriculum leveraged civilian partnerships to augment the clinical and trauma training experiences to better prepare warrior caretakers for casualty responses.
He established the Navy’s Global Health Specialist Program to ensure professionals who have global health experience, skills and training receive specialized certifications to fill key positions across the Department of Defense, interagency and international communities. As part of this effort, Navy Medicine successfully conducted a trauma collaborative exchange with the government of Vietnam to provide emergency medicine services. The resulting effort strengthened allied medical trauma capacities and provided Navy medical teams the opportunity to sustain their trauma skills in an unfamiliar and resource-constrained environment.
Faison also led the first deployment of the Department of Defense’s $4.3 billion electronic health record system “MHS GENESIS” at Naval Hospital Bremerton and Naval Health Clinic Oak Harbor, Washington. The new computer system will be implemented at all military medical facilities to manage health information in a single health record across the continuum of care for service members, veterans, and their families.
As Faison retires, Rear Adm. Terry Moulton will serve as the Acting Navy Surgeon General until a new Surgeon General is confirmed.
“As I close this chapter of almost 40 years of service, I know our Navy and Marine Corps is in good hands because they are in your hands. I know you will continue to do what you have always done since the founding of our nation: honor the trust,” Faison said. “I wish each of you all life’s blessings ahead and please know that you go forward with my deepest thanks and admiration for all you do.”
Navy Medicine is a global health care network of 63,000 personnel that provide health care support to the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, their families and veterans in high operational tempo environments, at expeditionary medical facilities, medical treatment facilities, hospitals, clinics, hospital ships and research units around the world.

SUBJ/NOTICE OF CONVENING FY-20 ACTIVE-DUTY NAVY CAPTAIN AND COMMANDER
SELECTIVE EARLY RETIREMENT BOARDS//
RMKS/1. The Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) approved the convening of fiscal
year (FY) 2020 selective early retirement (SER) boards in order to consider
captains and commanders in the line and staff corps on the active-duty list
for early retirement. The captain SER boards will convene on 20 September
2019. The commander SER boards will convene on 11 September 2019.
2. As in FY-19, the SECNAV is convening the FY-20 SER boards in order to
ensure the highest quality officer corps in the senior grades of captain and
commander. Our growing Navy requires the most consistently reliable top
performers to lead and sustain a modern, ready and lethal force as the number
of ships, squadrons and required manpower levels increase. The Navy is
committed to retaining and promoting the best leaders to meet the challenges
of tomorrow, and to enforcing the highest performance standards for Navy
leaders. Our junior officers and enlisted Sailors deserve the best senior
officers to emulate and lead them. Each SER board will select only those
officers whose early retirement, in the opinion of a majority of the board
members, is in the best interest of the Navy. When determining those
officers who should be recommended for early retirement, the SER boards will
consider a number of factors, including performance, the requirement for
exemplary conduct, and adverse information. The majority of eligible
officers whose records will be considered by the SER boards are fully capable
of performing the duties of their current grade. Selecting zero officers in
a competitive category is an acceptable outcome for the SER boards because no
mandatory quotas are established. The process of reviewing records and
selecting officers for early retirement ensures the Navy will have a
professional, healthy senior officer corps that is ready to meet the demands
of the Navy the Nation needs.
3. Captains and commanders whose records were considered by the FY-
19 SER boards may again be considered by the FY-20 SER boards. In order to
meet the Navys needs, the Secretary of Defense has authorized the SECNAV to
waive the statutory limitation in section
638(c) of title 10, U.S. Code, which prohibits a captain or commander from
being considered by a SER board more than once in a 5 year period.
4. The following officers may be considered by the SER board:
a. Captains. Captains with 3 or more years time in grade when the SER
board convenes, and in the year groups and zone for their respective
competitive category listed in paragraph 6.
b. Commanders. Commanders who have failed selection for promotion to
the grade of captain two or more times, and in the year groups and zone for
their respective competitive category listed in paragraph 6.
5. The following officers are not eligible for consideration by the SER
board:
a. Officers with approved voluntary retirement requests.
b. Officers with statutory retirements in FY-19 or FY-20.
c. Officers whose names are on a list of officers recommended for
promotion.
6. The following list indicates the name, active-duty list (lineal) number
and date of rank of the senior officer and junior officer eligible for early
retirement in all competitive categories of the line and staff corps for the
grades of captain and commander. Each junior officer eligible, each senior
officer eligible and all officers whose lineal number falls between the
senior and junior officers eligible will be considered by the SER board,
subject to the limitations in paragraph 5.
