Office of Force Readiness and Deployment Announces ‘Continuing Promise 2009’ Mission |
| Last summer, the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps) supported three components of an inter-service, interagency Health Diplomacy initiative utilizing U.S. Navy ships in missions designed to increase the operational capacity of U.S. Government personnel to deliver humanitarian assistance, perform public health assessments, conduct public health infrastructure repair, and provide health care training of indigenous health care workers. The Corps has again been specifically requested to participate in similar training missions, the first of which is the ‘Continuing Promise 2009’ mission, which is scheduled to begin in the spring and run through early summer of 2009.
