WASHINGTON (Army News Service, March 9, 2007) - The Army's vice chief of staff announced yesterday that a new group of leaders - all combat veterans - will steer changes in inpatient and outpatient care at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Gen. Richard Cody named Brig. Gen. Michael S. Tucker as the new WRAMC deputy commander. Currently the deputy commanding general and assistant commandant for the U.S. Armor Center and Fort Knox, Ky., Tucker will serve alongside new WRAMC Commanding General Maj. Gen. Eric Schoomaker.
"He understands Soldiers. He understands leading in combat. He understands how to run large organizations," Gen. Richard Cody said of Tucker, a former noncommissioned officer and drill sergeant. "He's going to be the guy that we look to to be the Soldiers' and families' advocate as they go through inpatient and outpatient (care) but also he's going to be the bureaucratic buster and take on this bureaucracy that at times frustrates our Soldiers."

At one time they were going to tear down walter Reed and send them all out to Bethesda naval hospital. Now that it is decided to fix walter Reed will they keep it open??IMO it should stay open.
What a great idea, to keep Walter Reed open and operating! Something good could come out of all this fiasco.

Thanks, but I had devious ulterior motives. ;~)
IMO it would be stupid to spend a fortune fixing up the walter Reed buildings and then move the facility and hand the property over to the District of Columbia government.
Walkter Reed should stay right where it is and with proper funding.
