349th General Hospital

The 349th General Hospital was a unit of the United States Army Medical Department, first activated during World War II. Organized in 1942, the unit provided essential medical care for American and Allied forces, deploying to the European Theater of Operations. The 349th played a critical role in treating casualties following the D-Day landings and during the subsequent campaigns across France and Germany. After the war, the unit was inactivated, but its legacy of medical service and support remains a testament to the vital role of Army medical personnel in combat operations.
