Ewell Hollis, Medical Corps, executive officer, Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) San Antonio, joined by Commanding Officer Capt. Jennifer Buechel, speaks to members of the command about the Battle of Midway during a commemoration ceremony held at the Battlefield Health and Trauma Research Institute. The Battle of Midway, one of the most important battles of the Pacific campaign in World War II, occurred between June 4 and 7, 1942. It is considered by many historians to be the most decisive engagement in modern naval warfare. NAMRU San Antonio’s mission is to conduct gap driven combat casualty care, craniofacial, and directed energy research to improve survival, operational readiness, and safety of Department of Defense (DoD) personnel engaged in routine and expeditionary operations. It is one of the leading research and development laboratories for the U.S. Navy under the DoD and is one of eight subordinate research commands in the global network of laboratories operating under the Naval Medical Research Command in Silver Spring, Md.
