305th Field Hospital

The 305th Field Hospital was constituted on 25 February 1943 in the Army of the United States and activated on 20 March 1943 at Camp Ellis, Illinois. During World War II, the unit provided crucial medical support in the European Theater, treating wounded soldiers close to the front lines. After the war, the 305th was inactivated but later reactivated in the Army Reserve, continuing its legacy of medical readiness and support. Throughout its history, the 305th Field Hospital has played a vital role in ensuring the health and recovery of U.S. military personnel during both conflict and peacetime operations.
