31st Combat Support Hospital

The 31st Combat Support Hospital (31st CSH) traces its origins to World War II, where it was first constituted as the 31st Field Hospital in 1943. The unit provided critical medical support during campaigns in North Africa and Europe, earning commendations for its service. Reactivated and redesignated several times throughout the Cold War and into the 21st century, the 31st CSH deployed in support of Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom, delivering advanced medical care to U.S. and coalition forces. Renowned for its adaptability and expertise, the 31st CSH remains a vital asset in Army medical operations, embodying the motto "Steadfast in Support."
