Fort Rucker, Alabama, Ambulance Service

The Fort Rucker Ambulance Service traces its origins to the establishment of Fort Rucker, Alabama, during World War II, when the installation served as a critical training ground for Army aviation. As the base expanded, the Ambulance Service was organized to provide rapid medical response and evacuation support for soldiers and aviators involved in rigorous flight and ground training activities. Over the decades, the unit has adapted to new technologies and procedures, ensuring prompt and effective medical care for the military community. Today, the Fort Rucker Ambulance Service continues its tradition of excellence, supporting the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and maintaining high standards in emergency medical response and readiness.
