343rd Evac Hospital

The 343rd Evacuation Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit activated during World War II. Organized in 1942, it provided critical medical care to wounded soldiers in the European Theater, supporting campaigns such as Normandy and the Rhineland. The unit was highly mobile, setting up field hospitals close to the front lines to rapidly treat and stabilize casualties before further evacuation. After the war, the 343rd was inactivated, having played a vital role in saving countless lives through its dedicated medical service.
