Honoring — Wishing You a Safe and Proud 4th of July Weekend

From all of us at the Medical Readiness Battalion, JBSA, we wish you a meaningful and memorable Independence Day. As our nation celebrates 250 years of freedom, unity, and innovation, this milestone offers a powerful moment to reflect on our shared history, honor the sacrifices that safeguard our liberties, and look ahead to the bright future we continue building together.
As Service Members, families, and teams gather across the globe, keeping our communities safe, healthy, and mission‑ready remains our highest priority.

*Beat the Heat
Hydrate often: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Limit sugary, caffeinated, and alcoholic drinks that increase dehydration.

-Know the signs: Watch for heavy sweating, dizziness, or nausea. Move to shade or air conditioning immediately if anyone feels ill.

-Protect pets & neighbors: Ensure animals have shade and fresh water. Check on young children and elderly relatives who are more vulnerable to extreme temperatures.

*Grill Safely
Choose the right spot: Keep grills at least 10 feet from homes, deck railings, and overhangs.

-Never leave it unattended: Fires can double in size in under a minute. Keep children and pets clear of the grill area.

-Clean regularly: Remove grease from trays and grates to prevent flare‑ups.

*Firework Safety
-Leave it to the pros: The safest way to enjoy fireworks is at a professional public display.

-Follow local laws: If personal fireworks are permitted, use them outdoors in a clear area away from buildings and dry vegetation.

-Soak the scraps: Keep water nearby and fully douse used or misfired fireworks before discarding to prevent fires.

Let’s continue looking out for one another and make this historic holiday weekend safe, healthy, and unforgettable.

Here’s to 250 years of American freedom and innovation.
Have a wonderful 4th of July!

New Journey-Oath of Office

1 July 2026, a new group of Army Medicine nursing service members stood tall at the Medical Readiness Battalion Headquarters as they raised their right hands and took the Oath of Office. Their mix of excitement, pride, and a little bit of nervous energy made the moment even more powerful.
The oath was administered by Captain Brandon Lithalangsy, HHC Commander. whose steady leadership and professionalism guided this amazing—and understandably anxious—group through one of the most meaningful milestones of their careers.
These new officers now join the long line of medical professionals who keep our Soldiers, families, and mission strong. Their commitment to service and care strengthens Army Medicine every day.

Welcome to the team. Welcome to Army Medicine.

Go Spurs Go! 🏀
The Medical Readiness Battalion, in exciting conjunction with Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), is officially traded in a bit of camouflage and scrubs for some silver and black! We launced a massive unit-wide initiative to support our home team, the San Antonio Spurs, in their legendary quest for a sixth NBA title!
To celebrate, our incredible Soldiers and staff spent the day repping their favorite Spurs gear. Of course, a few brave souls rocked jerseys from other NBA teams, sparking some highly competitive, friendly banter across the halls—but it’s all in the spirit of the game!
We know a thing or two about teamwork, dedication, and mission success, and we see that exact same drive in our Spurs. Military City USA is behind you all the way!

Check out the highlights of today's team spirit:

Silver & Black Takeover: From classic jerseys to vintage tees, the Spurs pride was undeniable.

Friendly Rivalries: Kudos to the staff repping other NBA teams for keeping the energy high and the trash-talk fun!

One Mission: Rooting the home team all the way to the championship. Although some may be Knicks fans.
