Fifth Army HQ Medical Dispensary

The Fifth Army HQ Medical Dispensary was established during World War II to provide vital medical support to the soldiers and staff of the United States Fifth Army. Operating primarily in the Mediterranean Theater, the dispensary delivered frontline medical care, treating battlefield injuries, managing disease outbreaks, and supporting overall troop health during pivotal campaigns such as the Italian Campaign. Its personnel coordinated closely with field hospitals and evacuation units, ensuring wounded soldiers received timely and effective care. The dispensary's efforts were crucial in maintaining the operational readiness of the Fifth Army throughout the conflict.
