Innovation Culture: The Backbone of USMEPCOM
As I sat down to discuss the culture of innovation at USMEPCOM, I was struck by the passion and dedication of the team. Matt Lince, J-6 and Innovation Facilitation Team director, and Army Lt. Col. Peter Nesbitt, Command Advisory Group director, shared their insights on the organization’s approach to innovation, technology, and data advances.
Innovation is the backbone of USMEPCOM
Lince emphasized that innovation is not just a buzzword, but a mindset that permeates every aspect of USMEPCOM. “If you’re afraid to fail, then you won’t experiment. If you don’t experiment, you won’t innovate. And if you don’t innovate, you won’t find success,” he said. This willingness to take risks and experiment has led to significant modernization efforts in recent years.
Nesbitt, who joined USMEPCOM in 2023, noted that while the organization has made significant strides in fostering a culture of innovation, there is still room for growth. “We need to have a culture change to meet the challenges today,” he said. This change is critical to unlocking the potential of the team and driving success.
AI prescreening: the future of medical prescreening
One of the key initiatives that will transform USMEPCOM is the introduction of AI prescreening. This technology will enable medical personnel to focus on human interaction, while AI takes care of sorting and analyzing massive amounts of data. This is a game-changer for the organization, and a testament to the innovative spirit of the team.

So, what makes USMEPCOM a great place to work? According to Lince, it’s the opportunity to drive change, see process improvement, and make a difference. “If you like to drive change, see process improvement, and feel like you’ve made a difference at the end of the workday, then USMEPCOM is a great place for you,” he said.
As Nesbitt noted, the team at USMEPCOM plays a critical role in ensuring that our nation has volunteers who are medically capable of defending our country. It’s a vital mission, and one that requires innovation, creativity, and a willingness to take risks.
