45th AMB

The 45th Armored Medical Battalion (45th AMB) was a key medical support unit within the U.S. Army's armored forces. Activated during World War II, the battalion served as part of the 13th Armored Division, providing frontline medical care and evacuation for wounded soldiers during major campaigns in the European Theater. The 45th AMB played a vital role during the division’s rapid advances across Germany in 1945, ensuring the survival and recovery of countless servicemembers. After the war, the battalion was inactivated as part of the Army’s postwar reorganization, but its legacy remains integral to the history of military medical support in armored operations.
