89th Medical Detachment

The 89th Medical Detachment was constituted on 21 December 1943 in the Army of the United States and activated on 15 January 1944 at Camp Barkeley, Texas. During World War II, the unit provided vital medical support to combat operations in the European Theater, earning campaign participation credit for its service. After deactivation post-war, the detachment was periodically reactivated to support U.S. Army operations, notably providing medical evacuation and support during the Vietnam War. The 89th Medical Detachment has since contributed to various humanitarian and military missions, exemplifying excellence in battlefield medical care and support.
