86 Med Group

The 86th Medical Group (86 MDG) is a key medical unit assigned to the 86th Airlift Wing at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Established in its current designation in the 1990s, the unit traces its lineage to earlier medical organizations supporting U.S. Air Force operations in Europe since World War II. The 86 MDG provides comprehensive medical and dental care to service members, dependents, and NATO partners, ensuring mission readiness across the European theater. The group has played a vital role in contingency operations, aeromedical evacuations, and humanitarian missions, reinforcing its reputation as a cornerstone of military medical support in the region.
