46th Medical Battalion

The 46th Medical Battalion was activated in 1941 as part of the U.S. Army’s rapid expansion during World War II. Assigned to the 1st Armored Division, the battalion provided critical medical support throughout the North African and Italian campaigns, ensuring frontline troops received timely care and evacuation. After the war, the unit was periodically inactivated and reactivated, adapting to evolving military medical needs. Over its history, the 46th Medical Battalion has exemplified dedication and adaptability, supporting U.S. forces in both peacetime and combat operations.
