Military physicians have played a role in nearly every major modern medical advancement. In the early 1800s, Surgeon General Joseph Lovell studied the connections between weather patterns and disease. In 1900, Maj. Walter Reed headed up the Yellow Fever Commission in Cuba, discovering that mosquitoes carried the disease and saving countless lives. In 1935, Maj. Gen. Harry George Armstrong, along with Dr. John Heim, built a centrifuge to test how the human body reacted to acceleration and to improve conditions for pilots.
