25th Mash

The 25th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) was a United States Army medical unit activated during the Korean War. Established in July 1950, the 25th MASH provided critical frontline surgical care to wounded soldiers, often operating under harsh and dangerous conditions near active combat zones. The unit became renowned for its rapid response and life-saving medical interventions, significantly increasing survival rates for the wounded. After the Korean War, the 25th MASH continued its service in various locations before being eventually deactivated as part of the Army’s transition to Combat Support Hospitals.
