338th General Hospital

The 338th General Hospital was activated during World War II as part of the United States Army Medical Department. The unit was organized at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, in 1942 and deployed to the European Theater of Operations. During the war, the 338th provided vital medical care to wounded soldiers, operating field hospitals and supporting combat operations. Following the end of hostilities, the unit was inactivated but was later reconstituted in the Army Reserve, continuing its legacy of medical support.
