110th Veterinarian Corps

The 110th Veterinarian Corps was established during World War I in response to the U.S. Army’s growing need for animal care, especially for cavalry horses and draft animals vital to logistics. Throughout both World Wars, the unit was responsible for animal health, food inspection, and disease prevention, playing a key role in maintaining the Army’s operational readiness. In the postwar era, the 110th adapted its mission to include public health, zoonotic disease control, and food safety for military personnel worldwide. Today, the 110th Veterinarian Corps continues to serve as a vital support unit, providing veterinary expertise in both combat and humanitarian missions.
