 The Uniformed Services University of the Health 

Sciences (USU) said farewell to its outgoing brigade 

commander, LTC John Maurer, MSC, USA, and welcomed COL John M. Wempe, MC, USA, as its newest leader August 2007. 

 Wempe was born in St. Paul, Minn., and grew up 

in the southeastern part of South Dakota, in the 

small town of Parkston, a town of about 1,500 people. The son of a large animal veterinarian and a 

homemaker, Wempe was one of eight kids; he has 

six brothers and two sisters. 

 Wempe said his decision to be a veterinarian 

was largely due to his father’s occupation, as well 

as two of his brothers’ accessions to medical school. 

 “Of the six boys in our family, five of them have 

served in the military; two in the Army, three in the 

Air Force. Two of my brothers did the Health Professionals Scholarship Program for the Air Force, 

one is still on active duty, and my older brother is a 

retired pilot,” Wempe said. 

 Wempe said that part of the reason he joined 

the Army was that at the time he finished veterinary school, the Army was offering lab positions in 

the Veterinary Corps, and he thought it would be a 

place to start. 

 “Never did I think it would become a career; I 

thought it was going to be a three year stint, and 

then I’d go back to a civilian vet lab and work,” 

Wempe said. “Then about six months after I was in, 

the Army offered me an opportunity to pursue a 

graduate degree. I agreed, and they sent me to the 

University of Californina, Davis for a masters program there. I was fortunate enough to complete a 

masters degree of preventive veterinary medicine, 

and a masters of science in comparative pathology, 

which took me about 16 months.” 

 Wempe says that he values his family above all 

else. He met his wife Dianne while completing his 

undergraduate studies at South Dakota State in 

Brooking; they have been married for more than 

32 years. She graduated a year after him, and he 

continued his studies in veterinary medicine at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. They have 

four children, two daughters and two sons. 

 “I think the most important thing that my wife 

and I have done is hopefully instilled in our own 

kids a sense of service,” Wempe said. “Both of our 

daughters were ROTC nursing students at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., and both served in 

the Army Nurse Corps. One of them was an operating room nurse at Walter Reed, and the other was 

deployed to Kuwait, and it’s pretty amazing that 

some of the patients our daughter Kelly saw in Kuwait, our daughter Kerry would see when they 

came to Walter Reed. Our sons are both graduates 

of the United 

States Military 

Academy; Ryan 

graduated in 

2005, and is currently serving as a 

military intelligence officer in 

Sadr City, Iraq. He 

should hopefully 

come home 

around Christmas, 

after a 15 month 

deployment. Our 

youngest son 

graduated from 

West Point this 

last May, and he’s 

doing his aviation 

training at Fort 

Rutger.” 

 “Since 1996, we’ve moved eight times, and our 

kids have hung in there through all that and still 

have decided it’s important to serve. That’s what 

makes me the most proud,” Wempe said. 

 Wempe said that what he has enjoyed the most 

in his career in the Army has been the people he 

has met during each assignment. 

 “I think what I have enjoyed most, and will 

sound cliché, but it’s really the people you get the 

opportunity to meet along the way, and you kind 

of get to know what they’ve done,” Wempe said. 

“It’s kind of a brotherhood and sisterhood of common experiences.” 

 Wempe has served in a variety of positions during his service in the Army, and identifies his time 

as the commander of the Army Medical Department Activity (MEDDAC) at Fort Drum, New York. 

 “Right before I came here I was commander of 

the MEDACC at Fort Drum, NY. I enjoyed that position very much, again, because of the people that 

were there, and the mission of supporting the 10th 

Mountain Division, a heavily deployed division; 

having an opportunity to take care of not just the 

soldiers, but their families, who are very much a 

part of the situation we’re in right now,” Wempe 

said. “They’re a big piece of it; if family members 

feel like they’re taken care of, and people care 

about them, that’s why they’re willing to let their 

spouse stay in.” 

 Wempe said he feels honored to take on the 

responsibilities as leader of the university’s brigade. 

 “I feel very fortunate that I was selected for this 

position,” Wempe said. “At the change of command, I spoke about the opportunity to prepare 

people to go into harm’s way and take care of 

those people who go and put their lives on the line 

for our nation, and I think it’s one of the best jobs a 

person could have.”

 Military medical leaders from the National Capital Region met 

Oct. 9 and 10 during phase two of the National Capital Area's 

Health care Synchronization Conference with the intent of furthering the integration of regional medical resources. 

 "[Defense Secretary Robert Gates] has said time and time again 

that - other than the survival of our nation, which is dependent 

[upon] winning this Global War on Terrorism - there is nothing 

more important to the Defense Department than the care of our 

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines," Assistant Defense Secretary 

for Health Affairs Dr. S. Ward Casscells said. Casscells said people 

should not be opposed to integrating military medical resources. 

 "[Integration] is not about cost-cutting. It's not about centralization. It's not about the Defense Department sticking its nose into 

the services business," Casscells said. "It's about going from good 

to great. Good to great in patient care. Good to great in quality of 

care, good to great in our teaching and our research." 

 "Combining medical capabilities in the National Capital Region 

will allow us to provide all of the services that our casualties need," 

said RADM John Mateczun, who is awaiting Congressional confirmation to lead Joint Task Force National Capital Area-Medical. 

"Organizing [the military branches together] will mean we don't 

have redundant capabilities. Also, integration provides distinct 

advantages, especially in specialized areas of care." 

 One of the major hurdles for the new task force is overseeing 

the completion of the new Walter Reed National Military Medical 

Center in Bethesda. The new medical facility will be a joint command and will require major construction, renovation and reorganization. "There are cultural differences in the way [the military branches] handle system processes and the ancillary things 

that go with moving patients," said National Naval Medical Center 

Commander RADM Richard Jeffries. "Getting [patients] to the 

proper rehab or to the Veterans Affairs centers - and other things 

like that - have not come together in one standardized process 

yet." 

 Select leaders from the Army, Navy and Air Force worked in 

small work groups during the conference to help diagnose and 

overcome challenges. "[This conference] is something we have 

needed to do, it's in the right timeframe and in the right direction 

with the new [joint task force]," Jeffries said. "[The conference] has 

gone a long way to [standardizing] this new national military 

medical command." 

 The co-creator of the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model, 

a toolset for managers to create and sustain team performance, 

served as guest speaker for the conference and said cohesiveness 

is paramount in developing a strong foundation and framework 

for building successful teams. 

 Allen Drexler, who created the model along with Russ Forrester 

and David Sibbet, supervised as military medical leaders applied 

the model to the National Capital Region integration. 

 "It is hard getting [different] cultures to work effectively as one 

and still maintain their identity," Drexler said. "[The joint task force] 

is inventing something that has never been done before and it 

takes time." 

 "We are getting more people on the same page and we are 

finding out where the big challenges are that need to be overcome," Jeffries said. "We are starting to find out what type of leadership the joint task force needs to form that will get us to the final 

product within the timeframe set by Congress." 

 Conference organizer Air Force Col John Murray said the meeting was a historical opportunity for National Capital Region military leaders to work collaboratively for a world class health care 

system. 

 "Interoperability is key to our national security. Unless we are 

joint, we're not really going to be interoperable," Mateczun said. 

"Each [military branch] is able to bring its own unique capabilities 

to the fight. But, through the combination of these capabilities, 

we'll be able to achieve the end state of the mission that we need. 

We will be more than the sum of our parts."

 Hockey season is underway, and the 

Uniformed Services University of the Health 

Sciences’ (USU) hockey team, the “Fighting 

Docs” is already skating its way to victory. 

 “Anyone can play,” said Capt Tim Gerlach, USMC, USU Headquarters Company 

commander, the team’s coordinator, manager, and captain, “faculty, staff, students, 

dependents, friends and family. Our team 

currently consists of military and civilian 

students, staff and faculty” 

 We play teams from all around DC, 

Maryland, Northern VA, and the ability of 

players range from novice to advanced. 

 “We’re in the Gardens Ice House Adult 

Hockey League,” Gerlach said. “In the 

whole adult 

hockey league, 

there are 65 

teams, with upwards of 25 players each, which 

makes the complex where we 

play the fifth largest adult hockey 

league in the 

country.” 

 Gerlach said 

the benefits of a 

university hockey team are numerous, both 

for the body and the mind. 

 “I just love playing on a team with a 

bunch of other people that have the same 

love as I do,” Gerlach said. “It’s an awesome 

workout, a great stress reliever, and a great 

study break and stress reliever for the students; it’s also a great way for the students

See HOCKEY, page 7 
 Eleanor S. Metcalf, Ph.D., professor of Microbiology and Immunology and associate dean for Graduate Education, has been a 

faculty member here at USU for 30 years. In addition to her responsibilities as associate dean, she oversees a small research program which is engaged in the study of the pathogenesis of Salmonella bacteria. 

 Metcalf was born in New Wilmington, Pa. She grew up in Baltimore, Md. where her mother continues to live. She received an 

A.B. in Chemistry from Ohio Wesleyan University; an M.S. in Microbiology from the University of Michigan; and a Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. 

 Metcalf was recruited to USU as an assistant professor in the 

summer of 1977, when the university needed basic science faulty 

to teach the first class of medical students. “When I first arrived, 

the university was still under construction” Dr. Metcalf said. “I was 

actually interviewed by Dr. Jay Sanford, then president and dean 

of USU, on the second floor of People’s Drug Store in downtown 

Bethesda. “USU has really grown, from a class of 31 students to 

175 medical students during the 30 years that I’ve been here,” she 

said. She also recounted that at the time she was hired, the university was housed at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology on 

WRAMC’s campus. When Building A was completed, the entire 

Medical School moved into this one building until Buildings B,C, 

and D were completed.” During that time, both the faculty and 

the medical school class were small. “When I was hired, I gave all 

of the lectures in the Immunology block of Medical Microbiology 

course because the department had only one faculty member in 

each of the areas of concentration within Microbiology.” She 

noted that “Graduate Education was combined with Graduate 

Medical Education for the first few years after she arrived but the 

two offices were eventually separated, and the Graduate Programs in Biomedical Sciences was developed as a single entity 

with responsibility for all of the masters and doctoral programs at 

the university. In the intervening years, Metcalf has continued to 

run her research lab, as well as to teach both medical students 

and graduate students. In 1999, she became the first director of 

the Emerging Infectious Diseases Graduate Program. In 2005, she 

was selected to be associate dean of Graduate Education. 

 “One of the things that haven’t changed over time is the friendliness of and interactions among students and faculty,” Metcalf 

said. “I have made many good friends and lost several treasured 

colleagues during my 30 years here at the university. While we 

have an outstanding academic environment, I think it’s the people 

that make USU unique and is the major reason that I am still 

happy to be part of this community.”

USU Professor reaches 

30 year milestone at USU 

 Medical students from the Uniformed Services 

University of the Health Sciences went to Kensington-Parkwood Elementary School for a program 

called “Get up, Get out, Get Fit” Tuesday morning. 

2LT Rebecca Ortolano, second year medical student, 

arranged the program. “It was a lot of fun,” she said. 

“It’s nice to step out of the medical school bubble, I 

used to do a lot of community service in high school 

and as an undergrad, and it’s good to get back into 

that.” This was the first time being done at the 

school, and USU students plan to do this is again. 

“We’re trying to get contacts to other schools and 

even middle schools,” said Ortolano. “Most of the 

USU students that heard about this are working 

through the Family Medical Interest Group and Pediatrics Interest Group. Many of the first years were 

interested in participating also.” 

 “What we have in mind for the future is having a 

lot of different teaching modules, nutrition, label 

reading, food guide pyramid and different exercises“ 

she said. “Depending on the amount of class rooms 

will depend on the classes taught.” 

 Ortolano said the reason the Family Medical Interest Group was interested in choosing nutrition and 

fitness as a target was to acknowledge childhood obesity and contribute to the community as a medical 

school and to help address the issue.

 A collaborative team of scientists from 

the Uniformed Services University of the 

Health Sciences (USU) and the National 

Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed a 

novel strategy to inactivate highly virulent 

Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus 

(VEEV) that can infect and kill both animals 

and humans. 

 In an article published in Biochem Biophys Res Commun, April 26, 2007, Dr. 

Radha Maheshwari, professor of Pathology 

at USU, along with graduate student Anuj 

Sharma, reported the novel approach to 

inactivate VEEV. VEEV has been identified 

as an emerging infectious disease and has 

been developed as a bio-warfare agent and 

may be a potential biological terror agent. 

 The current study has important implications for the development of efficient VEEV 

vaccine. The results show that complete 

inactivation of VEEV can be achieved using 

a novel molecule that can penetrate into 

the virus envelope and target the virus envelope proteins that are vital for initiation of 

virus infection of the host cell. This inactivation of the virus is achieved while maintaining the integrity of the virus which is vital 

towards development of a vaccine against 

any virus. This study has significant implications as this novel strategy of inactivation 

may be used for a large number of enveloped viruses of military and civilian importance. 

 There is no specific therapy for the treatment of VEEV infection or togaviruses as 

such and there is currently no FDA approved vaccine for VEEV prophylaxis. The 

current experimental vaccine which is under investigational new drug status, has 

limited use due to non-responders and 

residual virulence. 

USU Researchers 

Demonstrate Novel 

Strategy to Inactivate 

Encephalitis Virus 

 Researchers at the Uniformed Services University of the Health 

Sciences (USU) have identified a novel phytochemical agent that 

enhances and improves the process of wound healing in normal 

and immune compromised people. 

 In an article published in the March 2007 edition of the Journal

Planta Medica, Dr. Radha Maheshwari, professor of Pathology at 

USU, along with Anuj Sharma, graduate student and other colleagues, reported a novel compound Picroliv obtained from the 

roots of a plant Picrorhiza kurrooa enhances the rate of wound 

healing by principally enhancing the restoration of the blood supply to the damaged tissue. 

 Previous work from Dr. Maheshwari’s laboratory has shown 

that Picroliv also protects from the injuries induced by hypoxia 

and reoxygenation and upreulates the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in human umbilical vein endothelial cells 

and of insulin-like growth factor in rats during hypoxia. These findings suggest that Picroliv could be developed as a therapeutic 

angiogenic agent for the restoration of the blood supply in diseases involving inadequate blood supply such as limb ischemia, 

ischemic myocardium and wound healing. 

 This work supported by funding from National Institutes of 

Health has important implications in understanding the underlying process important for wound healing and developing agents 

that can enhance these processes. Wounds and their treatment 

remain a major area of research for military combat causality and 

civilian traumatic injuries and this research identifies a potential 

therapeutic compound that may be developed for treatment of 

wounds. 

Novel Phytochemical 

Agent Enhances, Improves 

Process of Wound Healing 

 The construction on the 

brick façades in the USU courtyard has reached completion, 

and the maze of caution-tape 

and barriers have disappeared. 

The construction, which began 

in 2005 consisted of removing 

and replacing the brick facings 

of each building. The façade 

(originally designed for the arid 

climate of California,) was not 

designed to drain water from 

behind the bricks. Over the 

years, water has been seeping 

behind the bricks and freezing 

and thawing has caused the 

bricks to slowly push away 

from the buildings. The insulation behind the façade had 

also deteriorated due to the 

water seepage, which led to 

an increase in air conditioning 

and heating costs.

 The 2008 elections are scheduled to officially begin with several Presidential Primaries in January 2008. Primary elections play 

an important role in the electoral process, because the names that 

appear on the general election ballot on Nov. 4, 2008 are the 

candidates that were chosen during the primary election process. 

Voters in state primaries select their party’s candidates for state 

and federal offices such as President, Vice President, Governor, 

U.S. Senator, and member of the U.S. House of Representatives. 

Primary elections will start earlier than ever in 2008. The District of 

Columbia, Florida, Michigan, and South Carolina will hold their 

Presidential Preference Primaries in January 2008, 20 other states 

will conduct their Presidential Preference Primaries in Febuary 

2008. The remaining states will have their primary elections 

shortly after. 

 The absentee voting process permits citizens covered by the 

Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, which 

includes members of the U.S. Uniformed Services, and their family 

members, who will be away from their legal residence/polling 

place on Election Day, to register, request a ballot, and vote 

through the mail or an alternative method. Absentee voters 

should request ballots at least 60 days before the election. A citizen must register to vote in his or her state of legal residence. In 

order to register and/or vote absentee, he or she must carefully, 

legibly, and accurately complete a Federal Post Card Application, 

Standard Form 76 (FPCA, SF 76) and submit it to the local election 

official serving their legal residence. The local election official will 

process the FPCA to determine if the citizen meets the jurisdiction’s residency requirements. The local election official will contact the voter if there are any questions during the process or if 

the form is not acceptable. For this reason, it is critical for the citizen to provide an e-mail address and other contact information 

on the FPCA. The local election official will send the citizen a blank 

ballot. Upon receipt, the citizen records his or her vote, and returns the ballot as soon as possible to ensure the state’s ballot 

receipt deadline is met. 

 An online version of the Federal Post Card Application (SF-76) 

can be obtained at: 

 http://www.fvap.gov/pubs/onlinefpca.pdf. All states and territories accept a printed copy of the online version of the SF-76 

form, except Guam and American Samoa. You can fill out the SF76, print it, and mail it to your local election official. State absentee 

registration and voting procedures, which provide state-specific 

guidance and mailing addresses, are available at: 

http://www.fvap.gov/pubs/vag.html#ch3. If desired, you can mail 

your SF-76 form using the postage paid envelope available at: 

(http://www.fvap.gov/pubs/returnenvelope.pdf). This online postage paid envelope can be printed on a No. 10 envelope or printed 

and taped to the front of it. 

 If you require any voting assistance whatsoever, please contacting any of the following USUHS Voting Assistance Officers: LCDR

Washington (295-9107 or bwashington@usuhs.mil); or IT2 GregPrimary Elections, General Elections: Both are Important 
2008 Field Exercises: Operations Bushmaster and Kerkesner will 

be conducted from July 10-25, 2008 at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa. 

These exercises are unique to our university and require the support of all university uniformed personnel. Only emergency leave 

will be granted during this time frame as there are over 135 uniformed personnel (not including evaluators) needed to support 

this mission. 

Drinking Responsibly: According to Dr. Alexander Wagenaar, Director, Alcohol and Other Drug Epidemiology Program, University 

of Minnesota School of Public Health, alcohol was involved in 

nearly 32% of aviation deaths, 62% of drownings, 48% of falls, 

54% of fires, and 40% of industrial injuries. Highway crashes involving drivers (and pedestrians) who are impaired by alcohol 

and/or other drugs are not considered "accidents," as they are 

preventable. 

Free Military Handbooks: There are several very useful United 

States Military Handbooks available to active duty military, veterans, and dependents on topics such as pay, allowances, taxes, 

health care and TRICARE benefits, Veterans and Social Security 

Benefits, travel, transportation, SBP, retirement, Space-A, installation listings, statistical data and more. These handbooks are designed to help military personnel by giving them the most accurate and complete information available anywhere. To access 

these handbooks, please click on the following link: http://

www.militaryhandbooks.com/. 

Enlisted Social Committee Support: All enlisted personnel are encouraged to support the enlisted social committee by informing 

personnel of their purpose, which is to facilitate effective and efficient mission accomplishment by functioning as an executive 

working group to foster esprit de corps and provide a means for 

morale and welfare recreational activities. The morale of the unit is 

largely dependent on the chain of command and their support of 

enlisted personnel functions. All E-6 and below personnel of the 

Headquarters Company are members. The ESC elections will be 

held on Nov. 6 at 9 a.m. in the USU Dining Facility. Maximum participation is requested for USU to have a successful program. Thus 

far, the ESC has completed the following activities and fundraisers: 

Valentine’s Day candy grams and baskets, a Memorial Day picnic, 

a USUHS picnic, and a book sale. Please come show your support!

to get to know the staff in a down to earth 

manner, form some good professional relationships, and give the staff a window to 

get more in tune with the students lives. It’s 

also a great privilege to be able to represent the university out in the national capital area.” 

 The team plays in gold and black jerseys 

with the USU logo on them, but what is 

conspicuously missing is a mascot. 

 “The team name is the Fighting Docs, 

and if we did have a mascot, his name 

would be ‘Doc.’ We do need to come up 

with a mascot to bring to games, or put on 

the bench. Anyone wishing to contribute a 

mascot idea is more than welcome.” 

 While a mascot would be nice, Gerlach 

said more importantly what the team 

would like to see is more fan participation 

at games. 

 “We would love to have fans come out 

and support our games,” Gerlach said. 

“Basically, we would encourage everyone 

to come out to our Sunday, Nov. 18 game 

at 2:50 p.m. in the Ice House’s Patrick 

arena.”
