hospitol command fort cambell ky

The Hospital Command at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, traces its origins to the establishment of the installation during World War II, when medical services were provided to support the growing troop population. Over the decades, the unit evolved into what is now known as Blanchfield Army Community Hospital, named in honor of Colonel Florence A. Blanchfield, a pioneering Army nurse. The command has played a critical role in providing comprehensive healthcare to soldiers, their families, and retirees, especially during deployments for conflicts such as Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the Global War on Terrorism. Today, the Hospital Command continues its mission of delivering top-tier medical care, supporting the readiness and resilience of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and the broader Fort Campbell community.
