Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Agency of the U.S. Department of the Navy that manages health care activities
Military unit
The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED ) is an agency of the United States Department of the Navy that manages health care activities for the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps . BUMED operates hospitals and other healthcare facilities as well as laboratories for biomedical research , and trains and manages the Navy's many staff corps related to medicine. Its headquarters is located at the Defense Health Headquarters in Fairfax County, Virginia .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
History
BUMED was one of the original five Navy bureaus formed in 1842 to replace the Board of Navy Commissioners . It is one of two bureaus still in existence.[ 4] Old Naval Observatory from 1942 until 2012.[ 5] [ 6]
In 2005, Navy Medicine aligned its shore facilities into four overarching commands: Navy Medicine East, Navy Medicine West, Navy Medicine National Capital Area, and Navy Medicine Support Command.[ 7] [ 8] Bethesda, Maryland , was merged in 2011 with Walter Reed Army Medical Center to form the joint Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission . The merged facility came under the jurisdiction of the new Joint Task Force National Capital Region/Medical , and in 2013, Navy Medicine National Capital Area was disestablished, with its few remaining facilities transferred to Navy Medicine East.[ 9]
While a 2006 report of the Defense Business Board recommended that the Army, Navy, and Air Force medical commands be merged into a single joint command , citing savings in budget and personnel, this recommendation was not carried out and in 2012 the Defense Health Agency (DHA) was established separately from the military medical commands.[ 10] [ 4]
Organization
Departments
The commanding officer of BUMED is the Surgeon General of the United States Navy , a Vice Admiral .[ 11] rear admiral , except for the Hospital Corps, which is headed by a force master chief petty officer because of its status as an enlisted rating . The other department heads are mostly either rear admirals or civilians.[ 12] [ 13] [ 4]
