25th Surgical Hospital

The 25th Surgical Hospital was a vital U.S. Army medical unit, originally activated during World War II to provide frontline surgical care. During the Vietnam War, the hospital deployed to Cu Chi Base Camp in 1966, serving the 25th Infantry Division and other military personnel. The unit was renowned for its rapid treatment of battlefield injuries, significantly improving survival rates through advanced medical techniques. The 25th Surgical Hospital was inactivated in the early 1970s as U.S. forces withdrew from Vietnam, but its legacy endures in the annals of military medicine for its dedication and lifesaving contributions.
