U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Guido Valdes, Commander, Naval Medical Forces Pacific, Director, Defense Health Network of the Pacific Rim, and Chief of the Medical Corps, returns a salute to Capt. Charles Dickerson Jr., the hospital ship USNS Mercy's (T-AH 19) incoming commanding officer, during a change of command ceremony at Naval Air Station North Island, July 3, 2024. Mercy can steam to assist anywhere to provide relief as a symbol of Navy Medicine’s abilities around the world, and must be in a five-day-activation status in order to support missions over the horizon, and be ready, reliable and resilient to support mission commanders.
