136th Evac Hospital

The 136th Evacuation Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit activated during World War II. It was formed in 1943 and provided critical medical support to combat operations in the European Theater, most notably during the Normandy campaign following D-Day. The hospital treated thousands of wounded soldiers, operating close to the front lines to stabilize and evacuate casualties. After World War II, the 136th Evacuation Hospital was inactivated, but its legacy of rapid, life-saving care remains an important part of U.S. Army medical history.
