47th Medical Battalion

The **47th Medical Battalion** was activated during World War II as part of the U.S. Army’s support structure, providing critical medical services to frontline troops. Assigned to various infantry and armored divisions, the battalion was responsible for casualty collection, emergency treatment, and evacuation under combat conditions, notably participating in campaigns across the European Theater. After World War II, the battalion underwent several reorganizations, adapting to the Army’s changing needs during the Cold War and subsequent conflicts. Its legacy is marked by a steadfast commitment to saving lives and enhancing combat readiness through expert medical support.
