13th Medical Unit

The 13th Medical Unit was originally constituted during World War II to provide vital medical support to frontline combat operations. Activated in 1942, the unit was deployed to the European Theater, where it established field hospitals and casualty evacuation points during major campaigns, including the Normandy invasion and the push into Germany. After the war, the 13th Medical Unit continued to serve in various conflicts, adapting to advances in battlefield medicine and supporting humanitarian missions. Its legacy is marked by a commitment to saving lives under fire and enhancing the medical readiness of the forces it supports.
