The remaining nine members are appointed by the Secretary of Defense under the authority of 10 USC § 2113a and serve as special government employees. All 15 members are appointed to provide advice on behalf of the government on the basis of their best judgment without representing any particular point of view and in a manner that is free from conflict of interest.

Dr. Ronald Blanck, Chair, BOR
“Service on the USU Board of Regents and as chair is a major way to remain connected and to learn about military medicine, to understand and help others to understand, and a way to be part of military medicine— my love and life. … There have been many changes but every class is notable for working together, for a strong sense of mission and for its high caliber of people.”
