Welcome to the official website of Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Annapolis!

At NMRTC Annapolis, our mission is to provide a medically ready force – certifying the warfighters that we care for are ready to fight tonight supported by a ready, well-trained medical force. As the former Surgeon General stated, we “provide well-trained People, working as expeditionary medical experts on optimized Platforms operating as cohesive teams demonstrating high reliability Performance to project Medical Power in support of Naval Superiority”. While we are not an operational or expeditionary unit, we are a platform prepared to support expeditionary medicine at any time – and we must ensure our readiness as medical personnel to respond to that call.
