47th Field Hospital

The **47th Field Hospital** was originally constituted during World War II, activated on 25 July 1942 at Camp Barkeley, Texas. It served in the European Theater, providing critical medical support to U.S. and Allied forces throughout campaigns in France and Germany. After World War II, the unit was inactivated, but later reactivated and redesignated several times, most notably serving in support roles during the Cold War and more recent operations. Today, the 47th Field Hospital continues its legacy as a deployable medical unit, ready to deliver comprehensive health service support to soldiers in a variety of operational environments.
