Afterwards he was deployed to Vietnam where he served in the 1st Infantry Division, 2/2 Mechanized Infantry as the Battalion Surgeon’s Assistant for 6 months north of Saigon along the Cambodian border. After 6 months, he was assigned to the 1st Medical Battalion as Company Commander for a Medical Clearing Company which handled all medical evacuations, to include helicopter transport Dustoffs. Upon returning home, a 30-year Reserve commitment began. While in the Reserves, hospital assignments were in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida and Georgia. During Desert Storm/Desert Shield, he served as the Chief of Staff of the 818th Medical Brigade, headquartered in Atlanta where his span of control was over 4,000 soldiers in 4 states.
