Retirement of DUSTOFF Warrior

Noted by COL Bob Mitchell, Director, Medical Evacuation Proponency

The Army had to say goodbye to a true hero in the Medevac business on 6 October. LTC Dan McCarthy retired in Huntsville yesterday. Although he played down the ceremony and his contributions over a 30-year career, the Army Medical Department didn't let him off that easy. Dan made significant contributions to the AMEDD in regards to his assignments which culminated as the Assistant Program Manager (APM)-Medevac Program Manager of the Medevac fleet. He has left a legacy of achievements that will be hard to duplicate by anyone and the Army is proud that he was on the job, especially knowing that his efforts put the best equipment and technology in the hands of our aeromedical troops. COL Mitchell's son, 1LT Zach Mitchell, who is currently flying Medevac in OEF, is one of the benefactors of Dan's extraordinary efforts. All the members of the Medical Evacuation Proponency team are honored to have worked with this outstanding officer over the last three years. The legacy that he leaves in PEO Aviation makes all of the members proud to have been a part of the Medevac Team and the AMEDD family.

Call For Photos and Stories!

Submissions should be sent to: sreese@arrowheadfilms.com . For more information, visit Arrow Head Films or Army DUSTOFF Legacy Film on Facebook. Arrow Head Films plans to preview the documentary at the VHPA 2012 Reunion in New Orleans.


82nd Med. Co. Flag Donated To Museum

82nd Med. Det. Flag Donated To MuseumSeptember 15, 2011 - A flag flown in combat with the 82nd Medical Company was recently donated to the Army Medical Department Museum. Proud of their lineage, the members of C-2-1 Avn Regiment stationed at Fort Riley, KS gave the flag to Dan Gower to present to the museum. Accompanying the flag was a certificate signed by CW2 Brian Bottolene, the pilot in command of the aircraft. During the time this flag was flown with the unit, it, too, came under fire from Iraqi insurgents. Originally the flag was to be presented to Mike Novosel (Jr. and Sr.) but a quick turn around re-deployment to theater and the sad deaths of both the Novosels prevented the presentation. Therefore, the unit felt it best to honor their lineage and the service of the Novosels by preserving the flag at the museum. Accepting the flag on the part of the AMEDD Museum is Michael Vice, archivist on the Museum Staff.
