​​​​​​​“We're saying goodbye to the institution that bound us together for so long, but we're also celebrating the foundation of a new program to continue the mission,” Steve Reichard said during a ceremony hosted by Col. (Promotable) RJ Mikesh on April 12 at Fort Detrick. The ceremony disestablished the charter for Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) and established the charter for Operational Medicine Information Systems – Army (OMIS-A). 

Steve Reichard, product lead for Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4)/Operational Medicine Information Systems – Army (OMIS-A), manages a team of 46 people transforming how the Army develops, tests and delivers health IT capabilities to Soldiers deployed overseas. 

“The Army’s Agile journey requires a mindset that is open to change,” said Billy McCain, product support manager for the Integrated Personnel and Pay System – Army (IPPS-A) program portfolio. “I consider myself a change agent. Technology is constantly evolving, and we must be open to analyzing these emerging technologies to improve our cost, schedule or performance.”
