829 Station Hospital Fort Polk, LA

829 Station Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit activated during World War II.

The hospital supported large-scale training operations, including those for infantry and armored divisions preparing for overseas deployment. After the war, the unit was inactivated as the Army’s needs changed, but it played a crucial role in maintaining the health and readiness of soldiers during a critical period in U.S. military history.
