Maya Alexandri, a resident doctor with the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence, operates an Ultrasound-Field Portable system during comprehensive system review hosted by Operational Medical Systems Program Management Office, Fort Detrick, Md., Jan. 28, 2026. OPMED, part of the Defense Health Agency, manages the USFP program. During the system review, project managers with OPMED’s Warfighter Expeditionary Medicine and Treatment team provided a program update for attendees as USFP moves to the next stage of development. Forward-deployable, rugged diagnostic tools with near instantaneous results, like USFP, are designed to enable far-forward treatment in austere, remote locations to save lives and return service members to duty with minimal delay. As part of DHA, OPMED partners with stakeholders across the Joint Force to develop, acquire, and field medical devices, treatments, and frontline care solutions for military medical providers to fill capability gaps with the speed of relevance.
