424th Medical Battalion

The 424th Medical Battalion was a unit of the United States Army that provided medical support and casualty evacuation for frontline troops. Activated during World War II, the battalion played a crucial role in supporting combat operations by establishing field hospitals and ensuring wounded soldiers received timely care. The 424th often operated close to the front lines, braving hazardous conditions to deliver life-saving treatment and transport. After the conflict, the battalion continued to serve in various capacities before eventual inactivation as part of post-war restructuring.
