Joint Task Force National Capital Region/Medical
The Joint Task Force National Capital Region Medical (JTF CapMed), located on the Naval Support Activity Bethesda campus in Bethesda, Maryland, also known as the JTF CapMed headquarters, was established by the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Gordon R. England, as a fully functional Standing Joint Task Force with authority to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of military healthcare within the National Capital Region (NCR).
National Capital Region Medical is the premier health care system serving the unique needs of our Wounded, Ill and Injured, Active Duty, retired Service members and their families. It is the Military’s first Integrated Health Care Delivery System (IDS) serving all of the patients in the NCR. It provides the world’s best care and rehabilitation for our nation’s most severely injured Warriors. Our number one priority is care for our Wounded Warriors and their family members. With new and enhanced infrastructure, new technologies, best clinical and business practices, we will meet the congressional mandate for world-class care. Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) and Fort Belvoie Community Hospital (FBCH) have proud traditions based on those of Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC), the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) and the DeWitt Army Community Hospital (DACH).

“What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility ... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.”

—Louise Lague (20th century)
