232nd Medical Battalion

The 232nd Medical Battalion was first constituted on 12 July 1942 in the Army of the United States and activated at Camp Barkeley, Texas. During World War II, it provided essential medical support in the European Theater, supporting combat operations and caring for wounded soldiers. After the war, the unit underwent several activations and inactivations, adapting to the evolving needs of the U.S. Army Medical Department. Today, the 232nd Medical Battalion is stationed at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where it plays a vital role in training future Army combat medics.
