10th Medical Lab

The 10th Medical Laboratory was constituted on 21 December 1942 and activated on 15 January 1943 at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. During World War II, the unit deployed to the European Theater, providing vital laboratory and diagnostic support for U.S. Army forces, including participation in campaigns across Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. After the war, the 10th Medical Lab continued its mission, supporting military medical operations in various theaters and contributing to disease prevention and health readiness. The unit earned multiple commendations for its service and was eventually inactivated as part of post-war restructuring, but its legacy remains significant in U.S. Army medical history.
