## 历史与遗产

### 空军医疗服务机构的创建

1947 年 9 月，陆军航空队的作战部队从美国陆军中分离出来，组建了美国空军。但在接下来的两年里，一些空军支持职能，例如医疗保健，仍然由陆军负责。从 1948 年开始，空军和空中外科医生[**马尔科姆·C·格罗 (Malcolm C. Grow) 少将**](https://www.airforcemedicine.af.mil/News/Biographies/Display/Article/2918585/malcolm-c-grow/)（1887-1960 年）说服陆军和哈里·S·杜鲁门总统的政府，空军需要自己的医疗服务。1949 年夏天，空军第 35 号通用命令建立了医疗服务部门，由以下人员组成：医疗队；牙科队；兽医队；医疗服务队；空军护士团；和妇女医疗专家团。

该命令指出，“上述部队应包括从陆军部相应部队调来的人员，以及随后在美国空军医疗服务部队服役的人员。在上述部队中任命的人员将列入单独的促销清单。” 每个军官团还接收了一支应征医疗队。空军医疗服务队的成立日期为 1949 年 7 月 1 日。

后来，空军女子医学专家团演变为生物医学科学队，成立于 1965 年，至今仍是空军医学部的一部分。空军兽医队于 1980 年 4 月解散，其动物护理职责转移至陆军医疗部。

AFMS 于 1955 年发行了第一批军官团徽章。设计师选择了古希腊治愈之神埃斯库拉庇俄斯 (Aesculapius) 的标志——一条缠绕在一根棍子上的蛇作为这些徽章的象征。新标志将 AFMS 与陆军医疗部区分开来，陆军医疗部使用两条蛇和希腊神赫尔墨斯的权杖。1968年设计AFMS徽章时，它还带有埃斯库拉庇俄斯的权杖。海军医疗部使用标准的美国鹰和盾作为其标志。

# DIVERSITY

AFMS OFFICE OF DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

On June 9, 2020, the U.S. Air Force placed deliberate emphasis on a culture of inclusion by standing up a Diversity & Inclusion Task Force. The D&I Task Force was charged with identifying and changing policies, procedures, barriers and other practices that might be unfairly impacting underrepresented Air and Space personnel.

On June 18, 2020, the Secretary of Defense announced the DoD would take a very direct and deliberate posture to address D&I issues. The goal was to thoroughly assess D&I within the Armed Services and to develop actionable items for immediate, mid- and long-term implementation.

In August 2020, the U.S. Air Force Surgeon General and the Chief, Medical Enlisted Force and Enlisted Corps Chief, stood up the AFMS Office of Diversity & Inclusion. Since then, the AFMS/ODI has actively worked to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion within the AFMS by utilizing four distinct Lines of Effort.

**The LOEs are as follows:**

* LOE 1 - Cultivate Culture and Policy
* LOE 2 - Educate and Inform Medics
* LOE 3 - Understand and Breakdown Barriers
* LOE 4 - Align with SAF Office of Diversity and Inclusion

MISSION, VISION AND OBJECTIVES

**Mission**  
Enhance Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging through education and removal of barriers so that all medics can reach their full potential.

# HISTORY & HERITAGE

## CREATION OF THE AIR FORCE MEDICAL SERVICE

In September 1947, the combat elements of the Army Air Forces separated from the U.S. Army, forming the United States Air Force. But a few Air Force support functions, such as medical care, remained Army responsibilities for the next two years. Starting in 1948, the Air Force and the Air Surgeon, [**Maj. Gen. Malcolm C. Grow**](https://www.airforcemedicine.af.mil/News/Biographies/Display/Article/2918585/malcolm-c-grow/) (1887-1960), convinced the Army and the administration of President Harry S. Truman that the Air Force needed its own medical service. In the summer of 1949, Air Force General Order No. 35 established a medical service with the following officer personnel components: Medical Corps; Dental Corps; Veterinary Corps; Medical Service Corps; Air Force Nurse Corps; and Women's Medical Specialist Corps.

The order stated, "The above listed corps shall consist of those personnel transferred from corresponding corps of the Department of the Army, and personnel subsequently commissioned in the respective corps of the Medical Service, United States Air Force. Personnel appointed in the above corps will be carried on separate promotion lists." Each officer corps also received a contingent of enlisted medics. The effective date of the creation of the Air Force Medical Service was July 1, 1949.

In later years, the Air Force Women's Medical Specialist Corps evolved into the Biomedical Sciences Corps, which was established in 1965, and still forms a part of the AFMS. The Air Force Veterinary Corps was disestablished in April 1980, with its animal care duties transferring to the Army Medical Department.

The AFMS issued its first officer corps badges in 1955. As a symbol for these badges, designers chose the sign of Aesculapius, the ancient Greek god of healing - a single snake entwined around a staff. The new symbol distinguished the AFMS from the Army Medical Department, which uses two snakes and staff of the Greek god Hermes. When an AFMS emblem was designed in 1968, it also carried the staff of Aesculapius. The Navy Medical Department uses the standard U.S eagle and shield as its symbol.
