Abstract

The Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) is the only medicolegal death investigation system of the US federal government. Its origins can be traced to three dried tissue specimens placed on a shelf by a Civil War Surgeon General in 1862. The collections and the library of the Army Surgeon General spawned the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), the National Museum of Health and Medicine, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and the National Library of Medicine. Pathologists of the Army Medical Museum performed the autopsies of assassinated Presidents Lincoln and Garfield and assisted with that of Kennedy. The now defunct AFIP created the first forensic pathology training program approved by the American Board of Pathology and then the AFMES. Col Ed Johnston, CAPT Charlie Stahl, and Col Dick Froede were the original pioneers of the AFMES.

武装部队法医制度的起源。
武装部队法医系统(AFMES)是美国联邦政府唯一的医学上合法的死亡调查系统。它的起源可以追溯到1862年内战时期一位外科医生放在架子上的三个干燥的组织标本。陆军外科医生的藏书和图书馆催生了武装部队病理研究所(AFIP)、国家健康和医学博物馆、沃尔特·里德陆军研究所和国家医学图书馆。美国陆军医学博物馆的病理学家对遇刺的林肯总统和加菲尔德总统进行了尸检,并协助对肯尼迪总统进行了尸检。现已解散的AFIP创建了第一个由美国病理学委员会批准的法医病理学培训计划,然后是AFMES。艾德·约翰斯顿上校、查理·斯塔尔上尉和迪克·弗洛德上校是AFMES最初的先驱。
