When COL Gina Adam arrived at TATRC to assume her Directorship in late July of 2018, she hosted a meet and greet with TATRC staff where she stated, “The time is right for TATRC to find its voice in the new research landscape, and I’m glad to be here to lead in that direction.” Now, as we thank COL Adam for her dutiful and dedicated leadership and say farewell as she assumes command of the United States Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA), we can proudly and graciously say that TATRC has indeed found that voice. COL Adam stood by her word and has helped to both guide our organization through a time of great change, and has positioned us to be more impactful and efficient than ever moving forward.

COL Adams’ Directorship here was a success from day one, and that has continued to be evidenced ever since. Her time at TATRC only added to a list of appointments that gave COL Adam great familiarity and understanding of the nature and structure of the USAMRMC (now USAMRDC), including Research Psychologist at the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) and Deputy Director at MPD at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM), and XO at USARIEM.
Additionally, COL Adam had previously served as a Deputy Project Manager at USAMMDA several years earlier, making her appointment as the new Commander there, that much more noteworthy, as it highlights the progress and success that has been featured so prominently throughout her remarkable career.
In early June, the TATRC staff held a farewell luncheon to honor and thank COL Adam for her leadership and camaraderie during her time here. The event was a great showing of gratitude and friendship, and allowed the team to look back on what was a landmark year for the organization, thanks to COL Adam’s stewardship. The respect and admiration that COL Adam has earned from her TATRC colleagues was apparent as well wishes and appreciation were shared abundantly from all who were in attendance.
COL Adam, from all of your TATRC family, we wish you great success and Godspeed in this newest chapter of your career in service to our Great Nation, and will always look fondly back on your time here with us. Thank you, ma’am!
