The U.S. Army Reserve Medical Command (AR-MEDCOM) was a shared vision of the Chief of the U.S. Army Reserve, and the U.S. Army Surgeon General.  Their vision was to give centralized command and control of all U.S. Army Reserve medical units and Soldiers to one authority, and to prepare them to rapidly respond when needed for any contingency at home or abroad.  The AR-MEDCOM mirrors the active component U.S. Army Medical Command (USAMEDCOM) by centralizing the management of all Army Reserve Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Soldiers and units.  This total reorganization of medical assets streamlines their ability to receive administrative, logistical and training support and improves the quality of the medical care they deliver to all Soldiers on and off the battlefield.  The AR-MEDCOM is a direct-reporting command to the United States Army Reserve Command, and is a medical force provider for Forces Command (FORSCOM) and the U.S. Army Medical Command (USAMEDCOM)
