Garrison Rapmund
Garrison Rapmund was a Major General and the Assistant Surgeon General of the U.S.
Garrison Rapmund was a Major General and the Assistant Surgeon General of the U.S. Army. In July 1984, after Albert Stubblebine was forced into early retirement and the Remote Viewing program was up for grabs, Rapmund engaged in discussions to move the program under his command within the Army Medical Research and Development Command at Fort Detrick, Maryland1.
His intention was to emphasize testing the physiology of the viewers. However, after several rounds of negotiations, the Office of the Surgeon General ultimately declined to take over the program1.
On August 27, 1981, "at DIA, Pomponio Plaza," Rapmund, then "BG(P), CDR, USAMRDC, Ft Detrick," met Jack Vorona "to discuss the issue of human use and the need for a DoD research and development effort in the GRILL FLAME area"; he "stated that as long as the Perry letter... remained as DoD policy, R&D funds could not be spent in the field of parapsychology. However, in his opinion there was a need to begin a serious effort in this field." Vorona told the Center Lane office on August 31, 1984, that he and "MG Rapmund of the Army Medical R&D Command" had signed a memorandum of understanding under which Rapmund "will provide one million dollars during FY85, two million during FY86, and four million during FY87."900
