7th Medical Battalion

The 7th Medical Battalion was originally constituted on 27 July 1941 and assigned to the 7th Infantry Division of the United States Army. Activated at Camp San Luis Obispo, California, the unit provided crucial medical support during World War II, including the Aleutian Islands Campaign and the liberation of the Philippines. The battalion continued to serve in subsequent conflicts, including the Korean War, where it supported division operations with casualty evacuation and field medical care. Over the decades, the 7th Medical Battalion has adapted to meet the evolving needs of combat medicine, upholding its legacy of saving lives on and off the battlefield.
