326th Medical Battalion

The 326th Medical Battalion was originally constituted in 1942 and assigned to the 101st Airborne Division. During World War II, the unit provided critical medical support in major operations, including the Normandy landings (D-Day), Operation Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge. The battalion continued its distinguished service through subsequent conflicts, including the Vietnam War, where it earned multiple commendations for its dedication to casualty care under fire. In later years, the 326th Medical Battalion underwent organizational changes, eventually becoming part of the 626th Brigade Support Battalion as the Army restructured its support elements.
