It conducts research in the field of radiobiology and related matters which are essential to the operational and medical support of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. military services. AFRRI provides services and performs cooperative research with other federal and civilian agencies and institutions. AFRRI is a joint entity of the military departments and is subject to the authority and direction of the president of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), under the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs and the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness. A significant coordination of ionizing radiation research and development exists within DoD. This coordination process is facilitated by the significant percentage (90%) of this work being done at AFFRI. Common areas of interest, including shock, sepsis, and bone marrow transplantation, are found between Ionizing Irradiation Research and Combat Casualty Care. These are being pursued in an integrative fashion. Research and Development was being carried out in a militarily appropriate manner for the echelons of military ionizing radiation research.
