The Defense Institute for Medical Operations, or DIMO is a joint security cooperation school for which the Air Force is the implementing agent (JSCET/ Army Regulation 12–15, SECNAVINST 4950.4B, AFI 16–105). DIMO was established in October, 2002 when the USAF Institute for Global Health merged with the Navy’s Defense Healthcare Management Institute.
In October, 2003, DIMO transitioned to the International Education Exportable Division within the International and Expeditionary Education and Training Department of the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, USAFSAM, Brooks City-Base, Texas. In 2011, under the Base Realignment and Closure, or BRAC, USAFSAM moved to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. In 2012, DIMO realigned under the Air Force Medical Support Agency, or AFMSA, as a Geographically Separated Unit, or GSU.
On April 1, 2019, DIMO returned to the command of USAFSAM, still as a GSU, as the International Education Department, directly reporting to the USAFSAM commander. The 59th Medical Wing and the 502nd Air Base Wing at San Antonio-Lackland provides space and facility support.
