 The university president has stated his intension to hold regular All Hands Town Hall meetings; and in keeping with that, the second town 

hall was held Jan. 23 in Sanford Auditorium. 

 Featured speakers for the meeting were 

Charles L. Rice, M.D., USU president; COL Thomas 

Fitzpatrick, director, Office of Integration; LTC Tim 

Rapp, chief information officer; and Vernon Schinski, Ph.D., special assistant to the USU president for 

BRAC/Integration. 

 As the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)/

Integration process continues to move forward 

and the Uniformed Services University of the 

Health Sciences (USU) postures itself to become a 

world-class academic health center, there were 

several updates that the speakers wanted to address with the overflowing auditorium of more 

than 300 people. 

 Fitzpatrick spoke about the Environmental Impact Study, which will address the expected increase in traffic due to the additional staff being 

located at the new Walter Reed National Military 

Medical Center (WRNMMC) on the Bethesda campus. 

 “A major step in the construction of the new 

BRAC-directed Walter Reed National Military Medical Center is the completion of an Environmental 

Impact Study,” Fitzpatrick said. “As the study is 

well underway, concerns from the community 

surrounding increased traffic have dominated the 

discussion. It’s reported that an additional 1,400 

full-time staff will be located on the campus; it is 

expected that WRNMMC will have an additional 

435,000 patient visits each year; and experts have 

calculated a 25% increase in vehicle entries.” 

 Planners for the impact study are looking into 

several alternatives, however the study needs to 

be complete before any construction can take 

place, the colonel explained. 

 “To address these concerns planners are looking at traffic patterns and entry points,” he said. 

“They are considering better METRO access; plans 

for increased parking; and have sought ways of 

reducing traffic such as providing pharmacy refills 

by mail so beneficiaries will no longer have to 

come to campus for these requirements.” 

 Fitzpatrick also highlighted some of the accomplishments that have come from the integration 

process such as: 

Implementing a successful integration pilot program in the Department of Dermatology 

Established BRAC/Integration public Web site 

Developed plans to migrate to one integrated 

national capital area (NCA) network and domain 

nca.mil 

In November 2006 published the first monthly 

NCA Newsletter 

 Another important topic that was discussed at 

the town hall was USU’s information technology 

(IT) security posture and ongoing IT initiatives. 

 The Defense Information Security Agency Field 

Security Operations completed its inspection of 

both USU and AFRRI networks Jan. 12, Rapp said. 

 “The objective of the inspection was to ensure 

that adequate security controls are in place and 

meet minimum DOD requirements,” he explained. 

“Organizations that do not meet these requirements can (and have been) disconnected from 

the network in order to ensure the entire DOD 

Global Information Grid is not compromised.” 

 Although there were some findings during the 

inspection that are being addressed, both USU 

and AFRRI did not fall into the category of organizations that didn’t meet certain DOD requirements, Rapp said. 

 “Due to the extraordinary efforts of both the 

USU and AFRRI IT staffs, we do not fall into this 

category; however, there are some serious findings (CAT I) that require our immediate attention 

and corrective action by Feb. 5,” he said. “In addition, all of the remaining findings must be addressed by March 20. Addressing these findings 

and getting USU and AFRRI networks certified is 

the top priority. Other short-term IT initiatives underway include: expansion of USU's .edu presence; establishment of a network "DMZ" and protected device enclaves to better meet faculty 

needs; expanded e-mail services; and the reestablishment of an IM/IT Governance Body at 

USU.” 

 Dr. Rice, COL Fitzpatrick, LTC Rapp, and Dr. 

Schinski will continue to keep the university up to 

speed on the latest and greatest BRAC/Integration 

updates as well as the progress with the IT initiatives. 

 The next All Hands Town Hall meeting is scheduled for March 7. More information will be distributed at a later date.

USU’s Town Hall Meeting 

By Tech. Sgt. Andre Nicholson 

NCOIC, Office of External Affairs

 The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) 

recently said farewell to CAPT John R. Rumbaugh, CFAAMA, MSC, 

commander of the USU Brigade. 

 In October 2006, Rumbaugh was assigned temporarily as head 

of OPNAV 931, the Medical Plans and Policies Branch of the Chief 

of Naval Operations’ staff, when CAPT David Tomlinson was critically injured in a car accident and a qualified replacement was 

needed immediately. Rumbaugh was one of the few senior Navy 

Medical Service Corps officers in the Washington, D.C. area with a 

combination of necessary security clearances and recent operational experience, and was chosen to replace Tomlinson. He is 

directly involved in mission evaluation, sourcing, and long term 

planning in support of all Navy and medical missions around the 

globe. 

 RADM Dennis D. Woofter, the deputy director of Naval Medicine, said he felt that there’s no person more qualified for the job. 

 “I want Dr. Rice to know that Captain Rumbaugh has been an 

enormous help and has exceeded all of our expectations,” 

Woofter said. “He has unquestionably been the right man for the 

job.” 

 Woofter added that he is grateful to USU for supporting his 

request to transfer Rumbaugh. 

 “I truly appreciate the fact that this request comes at a difficult 

time with the reorganization of the brigade under consideration 

and the likely growth of the brigade in the very near future,” 

Woofter said. 

 USU President Charles L. Rice, 

M.D., expressed his confidence in 

Rumbaugh’s ability to handle the 

new assignment. 

 "Captain Rumbaugh is one in 

a small pool of people with the 

unique set of skills necessary for 

this critical position,” Dr. Rice 

said. “I'm confident that he will 

do a great job for Admiral 

Woofter and represent the talent 

and commitment of the university. We all wish him the best and 

hope to see him again in the 

near future." 

 Rumbaugh received command of the USU Brigade from 

now retired Army Col. Charles S. Serio in September, 2005. His 

vision for the brigade was straightforward; professional military 

support of the university in all of its facets. Rumbaugh was commanding officer for more than a year when the call to duty came 

through. 

 Originally, Rumbaugh was to be temporarily assigned to the 

Pentagon for 90 days, but in a recent meeting, Dr. Rice informed 

the university brigade members that the assignment to the Pentagon would be permanent and Lt. Col. John Maurer, the brigade’s 

executive officer, would assume the role of brigade commander 

until a search committee finds a suitable replacement for Rumbaugh. 

 Regardless of who may permanently replace the captain as the 

USU brigade commander, his motto, taken from the brigade coin, 

“One Brigade, One Mission, One Team,” will continue to inspire 

the military personnel to work together towards mission accomAnchor’s Aweigh:

 A Uniformed Services University of the 

Health Sciences (USU) assistant professor is 

one of 14 recipients of the 2007 American 

Medical Association (AMA) Young Physician Leadership Award. 

 Air Force Lt. Col. select Chetan U. 

Kharod, MC, FS, an assistant professor in 

the USU Department of Military and Emergency Medicine (MEM) will be recognized 

in a ceremony Feb. 12 at the J.W. Marriott 

Hotel in Washington, D.C. 

 The Young Physician Leadership Awards 

are presented annually to medical students, 

residents, fellows, young physicians and 

international medical graduate physicians 

who have exhibited outstanding leadership 

in organized medicine and community 

affairs. The award is given to encourage 

the recipients to further their efforts toward 

advancing health care in America. 

 “I think the AMA gives these awards out 

for two reasons,” Major Kharod said, “To 

recognize leadership in the medical community and to also recognize the potential 

for leadership. It’s not just what you have 

done; it’s what you are capable of doing. 

 Kharod is an assistant professor in MEM 

as well as the course director for the fourthyear Emergency Medicine Clerkship. He 

graduated from USU in 1996 and has since 

served as a Squad Medical Element flight 

surgeon, deployed during Operation Enduring Freedom as a Critical Care Air Transport Team leader, completed the International Emergency Medicine Fellowship, and 

earned his master’s degree in public health 

from Johns Hopkins University. 

 Kharod shared his thoughts about earning the Young Physician Leadership Award. 

 “I feel satisfied,” he said, “I would say 

humble is the more lasting feeling. Looking 

down the list of recipients, there are a lot of 

people doing impressive, wonderful things, 

and it feels like a challenge to continue 

doing good work.” 

 Kharod said he isn’t award driven, but 

he hopes that his work will continue without him long after he’s gone. 

 “I’m not shooting for awards,” he said. 

“A lot of really good things start out as personally driven, but in the end, they need to 

be process-driven; things that, if you take 

yourself out of the process, keep going. The 

lasting impact of a leader is making future 

leaders,” he said. 

 Also among the recipients of the Young 

Physician Leadership Awards are two other 

USU graduates: Army Maj. Brent R. Gibson, 

MC, a graduate of USU’s Occupational and 

Environmental Medicine Residency program; and Air Force Maj. David Huang, MC, 

a graduate of USU’s School of Medicine 

(SOM). Army Second Lt. Gary Legault, a 

current student of USU’s SOM, class of 

2009, will receive the AMA’s Medical Student Leadership Award. 

 “Note that of 14 [Young Physician Leadership Award] recipients, six were military 

personnel, and of those six, three were USU 

graduates,” Kharod said. “I think that 

speaks for itself about the high quality and 

standards of the military as well as this university and its mission.”

 The Uniformed Services University of the Heath Sciences (USU) 

had the honor of having Chaplain (LCDR) Paschal Dawson III, 

USN, speak about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jan. 22. 

 The theme was “Remember! Celebrate! Act! A day on, not a 

day off!” 

 “Dr. King was a whole man in a broken time,” said Dawson. 

“He was a whole man in broken time because he remained committed to his vision of human wholeness in the face of adversity 

and fragmentation.” 

 As his speech continued he added, “He (Dr. King) kept going 

even though the cost of personal and social transformation was 

enormous.” 

 Dr. King was a leader of the American civil rights movement, a 

political activist, and Baptist minister in the 1960s 

 He was immortalized in Aug. 28, 1963, when he delivered his 

speech “I have a dream” at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. 

 Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who escaped from the Holocaust, called Dr. King a voice and a visionary, Dawson said, “The 

future of America will depend on the impact and influence of Dr. 

King.” 

 Dr. King was assassinated April 4, 1968, on the balcony of the 

Loraine Motel in Memphis Tennessee. Two months after his death 

James Earl Ray, an escaped convict, was charged with the assassination. 

 “King said that we can not be truly free until our brothers and 

sisters are free,” said Dawson. “There is an interrelatedness of all 

life, an interconnectedness that binds us together as one.” 

A Day On, Not a day Off

 The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) 

Center for Health Disparities Community Outreach and Information Dissemination Core has been actively involved in working 

with community partners to disseminate health information to 

maximize the understanding and reduction of health and healthcare disparities in minority populations. This objective is achieved 

through multiple activities as well as listening to the health concerns and needs of the community. 

 “We were most excited to learn about the work of our military 

neighbors, the Bethesda Multicultural Committee,” said Dr. Gloria 

Ramsey, JD, RN, USU associate professor of nursing and director, 

USU Center for Health Disparities Community Outreach and Information Dissemination. 

 The committee’s mission is to support the command’s goal of 

creating and promoting a culturally competent climate, affording 

all National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) staff the opportunity to 

develop the necessary skills and techniques in order to understand, appreciate, care for, and work effectively with individuals of 

cultures other than their own, said Committee Chair LT Christye 

Brown. The committee’s membership is open to representatives 

from: NNMC, Navy Medicine Manpower Personnel Training and 

Education Command, NMIMC, Naval Dosimetry Center NEHC 

Detachment, Naval Medical Research Center, Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute Department of Defense, and the 

USU. 

 As we work to eliminate health disparities, a goal of our federal 

government by 2010, we must be vigilant and steadfast in our 

efforts to achieve this goal. CAPT Langston Smith, DC, keynote 

speaker, challenged each of us to serve, “reach out and touch and 

make this world a better place.,” 

 In the spirit of the Martin Luther King Day Observance, while 

reflecting on his words expressed in 1966, “Of all the forms of 

inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane,” 

the Center for Health Disparities Community Outreach and Information Dissemination Core and Bethesda Multicultural Committee 

launched its new partnership. 

 “The diversity among the United States population is one of our 

nation’s greatest strength. This asset is often overshadowed by 

the disproportionate burden of disease and illness that is borne by 

racial and ethnic minority populations; and for those reasons, we 

welcome the opportunity to “serve” to be a resource and share 

our educational resources with the Bethesda Multicultural Committee,” said Ramsey. 

 “We will participate in each of the committee’s monthly programs at NNMC and together we will disseminate important 

health information that will promote continuing education to 

address cultural issues which impact on research, education, and 

patient care delivery,” said Brown. 

 The time is now for all American’s to do their part to contribute 

to the health of our nation. “A Day On, Not a Day Off!” We are all 

“on” if we work to reduce and eliminate health care disparities by 

2010.

Megan Guglielmi and Linsay Waros, archival assistants in USU's Learning Resource Center (LRC), flank the informative display they created on the 'four humors," which were believed to control human personality. Humorism was the belief that 

the human body is filled with four basic substances, called humors, which are held in balance when a person is healthy. All 

diseases and disabilities result from an excess or deficit in one of these four humors, which were black bile, yellow bile, 

phlegm, and blood. The display will be available for viewing in the LRC until April.

 This is a reminder that you can register for an on-line account 

with Bank of America to review your travel card information such 

as balances, transactions, and statements. The program is called 

EAGLS and the web site to obtain a USERID is: 

https://www.gcsuthd.bankofamerica.com/EAGLS_selfregistration

/selfREG.aspx. 

 According to the Bank about 75 of the University's 900+ cardholders have active EAGLS accounts. I encourage every cardholder who travels frequently to register. 

 Please note that when registering you must provide a ".mil" email address. The information that you enter must be exactly as it 

is on your travel card. The only information you will be prompted 

to enter that is not on your card is your zip code. The bank will 

send you a USERID via regular mail to the address on your account, so make sure it is correct. If you have to change your address, contact the bank at 800-472-1424 to make the change, and 

then register for EAGLS afterwards. 

 Once your on-line account is established, you will have to log 

in at least once every 30 days or you will be denied access. Having an EAGLS account will also assist you in determining the 

amount of your "Split Disbursement" which is mandatory for all 

cardholders. 

Split Disbursement 

 Three years ago the Department of Defense mandated that 

whenever a Government Travel Cardholder filed a travel settlement, any balance owed the card contractor (Bank of America) 

must be paid via "Split Disbursement." Unfortunately the Department of Defense’s latest report indicates that only 47% of the 

USUHS cardholder payments to Bank of America were paid via 

"Split Disbursement." The minimally acceptable level is 60%. 

What does Split Disbursement mean? 

 It means that travelers who have government travel cards must 

annotate block 1 of their DD Form 1351-2 Travel Voucher with 

the amount they owe Bank of America. Attached is a copy of the 

August 2006 version of this form. (When opening it in Groupwise 

remember to right-click on the icon and select "Open with Adobe 

Acrobat Reader.) Travelers who are unsure of their balances can 

call the Bank's customer service number to obtain a current balance. Approving officials are responsible for ensuring that the 

split disbursement area (block 1) of the voucher is correctly 

marked. If the cardholder states that there is nothing owed, then 

$0.00 should be entered as the amount to pay to the bank. 

What if the traveler doesn't have a government card? 

 The travel order must indicate that the traveler “is not” a cardholder. That's why it's so important that block 16 of the travel 

orders accurately reflect the status of each traveler. If the orders 

state the traveler "is not" a government card holder, then the "Split 

Disbursement" area should be left blank. 

What if I am the cardholder and my balance is already past due 

(30 days or more)?

 All travelers are required to submit properly prepared and approved settlement vouchers within 5 days of their return from 

TDY. In addition, travelers on long term TDY’s (over 30 days) are 

encouraged to file partial vouchers at the 30 day point and each 

30 days thereafter until the TDY is over. If cardholders follow 

these instructions then they should still annotate “Split Disbursement” for the amount owed. 

 However, if a claim is not submitted timely, then the cardholder 

must pay the bill to the bank directly to make sure the account 

does not become delinquent (60 days past due) and “Split Disbursement” would not be used (mark $0.00.) Under no circumstances should any account ever become delinquent. Given the 

University's poor record, in November FMG will start making spot 

checks of travel vouchers that indicate that nothing is owed in 

Block 1 of the DD Form 1351-2. If a traveler is found to owe an 

amount to the Bank of America the travel voucher will be returned to the traveler for correction. If you have any questions, email jwolff@usuhs.mil.

Building E Construction 

USU in the News 

 Re-enforcement steel for the caissons was delivered during the week of Jan. 7; and work on the foundation is expected to 

be underway during February/March 2007. At this time, USU is working on a Statement of Work (SOW) for the coordination 

of the outfitting requirements for Building E. When the construction company completes its work (estimated around March 

of 2008), the university must ensure that occupancy occurs in an efficient and timely manner, meeting operational/functional 

requirements as envisioned by the future occupants of the building and USU leadership. The patience and support of the 

USU community is urgently requested between now and the Spring of 2008. USU leadership will ensure open communication as the work progresses.
