The twenty white stars on a blue background and the red and white stripes represent the U.S. flag of 1818. The green staff entwined with a green serpent combined two symbols: the rod of Asclepius from classical mythology symbolizing medicine and healing, along with the color green associated with the Medical Corps during the last half of the 19th Century. The colors Argent (silver/white) and Gules (red) are associated with the flag of the United States. The rooster is associated with the ancient Greek and Roman god of healing and medicine, Aesculapius. The ancient Greeks believed that the rooster's crowing at dawn drove away the evil disease-spreading demons from the temples so that it could be a place of healing. The torse (twisted rope) below the rooster shows alternating blue and silver colors which were representative of the Army in 1818. The Latin motto <i>Experientia et Progressus</i> (Experience and Progress) is meant to convey the steady and unfailing progress of the Army Medical Department since 1775. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Regimental_insignia_(crest)"><span id="Regimental_insignia_.28crest.29"></span>Regimental insignia (crest)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Army_Medical_Department_(United_States)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Regimental insignia (crest)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:U.S._Army_Medical_Department_Regimental_Insignia.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/U.S._Army_Medical_Department_Regimental_Insignia.jpg/90px-U.S._Army_Medical_Department_Regimental_Insignia.jpg" decoding="async" width="90" height="110" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/U.S._Army_Medical_Department_Regimental_Insignia.jpg/135px-U.S._Army_Medical_Department_Regimental_Insignia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/U.S._Army_Medical_Department_Regimental_Insignia.jpg/180px-U.S._Army_Medical_Department_Regimental_Insignia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="493" data-file-height="603" /></a><figcaption>The AMEDD Regimental Insignia</figcaption></figure> <p>The design of the AMEDD regimental insignia (crest) is derived from the regimental coat of arms.

Medical officers in the United States Army were authorized uniforms only in 1816 and were accorded military rank only in 1847. Congress made the designation of "Medical Corps" official in 1908, although the term had long been in use informally among the AMEDD's regular physicians. Today, members of the MC work around the world at all echelons of the Army. The Chief of the MC is a <a href="/wiki/Major_General_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Major General (United States)">major general</a>, whereas the senior Army Medical Department officer is the Surgeon General (a <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_general_(United_States)" title="Lieutenant general (United States)">lieutenant general</a>). </p><p>Military physicians serve in one of several general career fields. The three main fields are operational field, clinical field, and research field. </p><p><b>Operational Medicine</b> is the field of Army medicine that provides medical support to the soldier and his/her Chain of Command.

These physicians are either assigned through the "PROFIS" system or through permanent assignment (PCS). Deployments with units to combat theaters are for the duration of a deployment and the jobs are mostly filled by <a href="/wiki/Primary_care_physicians" class="mw-redirect" title="Primary care physicians">primary care physicians</a>. A <a href="/wiki/PROFIS" title="PROFIS">PROFIS</a> provider can expect to be deployed away from their family for a total of 16 months (1 month before deployment, 12 months in theater, and 3 months for "stabilization" after return to the assigned units home station). This means that primary care physicians are deployed for longer periods than most "specialist physicians". A specialist (i.e. <a href="/wiki/General_Surgeon" class="mw-redirect" title="General Surgeon">General Surgeon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pulmonologist" class="mw-redirect" title="Pulmonologist">Pulmonologist</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cardiologist" class="mw-redirect" title="Cardiologist">Cardiologist</a>, <a href="/wiki/Trauma_surgeon" class="mw-redirect" title="Trauma surgeon">Trauma Surgeon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rheumatologist" class="mw-redirect" title="Rheumatologist">Rheumatologist</a>) are usually deployed for 6 months.

With the recent <a href="/wiki/Brigade_Combat_Team" class="mw-redirect" title="Brigade Combat Team">Brigade Combat Team</a> (BCT) restructuring, the demand for operational surgeons have increased.

These physicians are assigned to a PROFIS unit in one of the various Army <a href="/w/index.php?title=MEDCEN&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="MEDCEN (page does not exist)">MEDCEN</a> (Medical Centers) and <a href="/w/index.php?title=MEDDAC&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="MEDDAC (page does not exist)">MEDDAC</a> (Medical and Dental facilities).
