15th Combat Support Hospital

The 15th Combat Support Hospital (15th CSH) was constituted on 23 June 1942 and activated at Camp Bowie, Texas, as the 15th Field Hospital. Serving with distinction in World War II, the unit provided critical medical support in campaigns across Europe. Over the decades, it evolved into a modern deployable hospital, delivering advanced medical care during operations such as Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. Renowned for its rapid deployment and life-saving capabilities, the 15th CSH played a vital role in supporting U.S. and coalition forces before its inactivation in 2020 as part of Army medical restructuring.
