USARIEM Says Farewell to Dr. Reed Hoyt after nearly 40 Years of Civilian Service

When Dr. Reed Hoyt first started working at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) in the summer of 1986, he was a bright-eyed 35-year-old, eager to learn the ropes of his new position and make his mark. During the next 37 years as a Department of the Army Civilian, Hoyt really did make his mark—on USARIEM and the Warfighter. He served as a research physiologist working on projects from studying energy metabolism during sustained exercise—to creating next generation wearables and multiple patents.

Now at the age of 72, Hoyt made the bittersweet decision to retire. While he may be leaving behind a long and accomplished career, he will be taking not only the fond memories but countless awards—and contributions to over 100 publications and over 12 patents.
