24th MedEvac

The 24th MedEvac, officially known as the 24th Medical Evacuation Company, was established to provide rapid aeromedical evacuation and critical care transport for wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Activated during the Vietnam War, the unit became renowned for its courageous "dustoff" missions, often flying into hostile zones under fire to rescue injured personnel. Over the decades, the 24th MedEvac has supported a range of operations, adapting to new technologies and medical practices to enhance battlefield survivability. Its legacy is marked by a commitment to saving lives and ensuring timely medical care for service members in combat and humanitarian missions.
