546 Medical Battalion

The **546th Medical Battalion** was a United States Army medical unit activated during World War II. Organized in 1942, the battalion provided essential medical support, including field hospitals and casualty evacuation, for combat units in the European Theater of Operations. The battalion played a crucial role during major campaigns such as the Normandy invasion and the subsequent push across France and into Germany, ensuring wounded soldiers received timely and effective care. After the war, the 546th Medical Battalion was inactivated as part of the postwar drawdown, but its legacy endures through its significant contributions to battlefield medicine during one of history’s most critical conflicts.
