Brigadier Jerome Foust’s
career as DUSTOFF Aviator, commander of medical and medical support
units in a variety of combat operations, and as Chief, Medical
Service Corps, clearly defines him as one of the most accomplished
MSC officers ever. From his first assignment as a DUSTOFF pilot in
the Republic of Vietnam, where he completed many lifesaving
evacuation missions under heavy enemy fire, to his command of the
44th Medical Brigade in support of Operation Just Cause and
Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, where he was the first MSC to
command the entire medical support system, to his selection as the
first MSC Aviator to command the Corps, he distinguished himself by
exceptional dedication to the DUSTOFF tradition and by outstanding
performance of duty. His accomplishments in positions of great
responsibility in operations that redefined the Army Medical
Department and the US Army greatly enhanced the image of the Medical
Service Corps, the AMEDD, and DUSTOFF. Jerome Foust was inducted
into the DUSTOFF Hall of Fame on 22 February 2003. |
