Through the AFIP, ARP provided @ 300 employees to the Dept.
of Defense (DoD). Approximately 150 employees staff the Armed
Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL) in Rockville, MD.
In 2011, these functions will be relocated to Dover, DE in
compliance with the BRACC. We have initiated a program in
support of this transition for AFDIL employees. ARP continues to
provide administrative infrastructure in support of AFIP
educational programs and it’s research grants and contracts.
ARP Press publication offices, located in Silver Spring, MD,
produced very well-received Atlases of Pathology, which continue
to be standard references worldwide. In 2008, ARP Press
published Volume 8 in Series IV of the Atlas of Tumor Pathology
(Tumors of the Adrenal Gland and Extraadrenal Paraganglia by
Ernest E. Lack, M.D.) and Volume 9 (Tumors of the Salivary
Glands by Gary L. Ellis, D.D.S. and Paul L. Auclair, D.M.D.,
M.S.). In the Atlases of Non-Neoplastic Pathology, Volume 6 was
published (Non-Neoplastic Disorders of Bone Marrow by Kathryn
Foucar, M.D., David S. Viswanatha, M.D. and Carla S. Wilson,
M.D., Ph.D.).
500 copies of each Atlas were provided gratis to the Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology (AFIP) for distribution to Military
Pathologists worldwide.
The Dept. of Defense has not made final decisions yet regarding
the specific details, e.g. staffing or functions, of the Joint
Pathology Center (JPC).
