Over the past 18 months, the 43rd MDS has medically cleared and supported the deployment of 150 Air Force deployers in support of Immediate Response Force missions to both rescue 124,000 noncombatant evacuees from the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan and deter Russian aggression against NATO partners.
In 2022, several MDS members were competitively selected for key developmental opportunities - Lt. Col. Egypt McAdoo to an Oral Maxillary Facial Surgery residency, Maj Andrew McCampbell to the Physician Assistance Specialty Program, Captain Christine Melch to the Periodontics Residency Program, and TSgt Petri Brand to attend Officer Training School.
We also had two 43rd AMOG annual award winners in 2021 - Lt. Jonathan Miesegaes as CGO and Mrs. Elizabeth Felton as Civilian Category 1.
