THE STRENGTH TO HEAL
and protect our Soldiers
against disease.
Capt. Darryl Forest, Entomologist
Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.
“In addition to insects and pests, my job is preventive medicine. I inspect facilities
that provide food and bottled water to Soldiers.”
Entomologists on the U.S. Army Health Care Team do more than plan and monitor pest
control programs. They implement disease control, and serve on staff assignments
where they prepare regulations, directives, standards and criteria. They engage in
teaching preventive medicine to personnel and, at senior levels, serve as consultants
both in the United States and overseas.
Stop by Booth No. 307 or contact a member of the
U.S. Army Health Care Team at 888-265-2769 or
