    FALLS CHURCH, Va. (Nov. 14, 2025) A photo collage depicts a portrait of Surgeon William S. W. Ruschenberger who developed the Manual off the Medical Department (MANMED), the former building headquarters for the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), and MANMED back issues. For over 180 years the MANMED has been a vital part of Navy Medicine—a constantly revised document ensuring the operational readiness, administrative accountability, and professional standards of the entire Navy Medicine Enterprise. This photo illustration was created by combining multiple images overlaid with text and logo. (U.S. Navy photo illustration by Andre B. Sobocinski)
