36th Evacuation Hospital

The 36th Evacuation Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit activated during World War II. Organized in 1941, the unit provided critical medical support in both the European and Mediterranean Theaters, including participation in the North African and Italian campaigns. The hospital followed frontline troops, setting up mobile facilities to treat and stabilize wounded soldiers before evacuation to rear-area hospitals. Renowned for its rapid deployment and effective care, the 36th Evacuation Hospital played a vital role in saving countless lives during major Allied operations.
