Med evac Walson Army Hospital

Walson Army Hospital, located at Fort Dix, New Jersey, operated a dedicated medical evacuation (medevac) unit throughout much of the Cold War era. The medevac team provided rapid air and ground transport for injured soldiers and their families, supporting both training operations at Fort Dix and real-world emergencies in the surrounding region. During its years of service, the unit played a crucial role in saving lives by ensuring timely treatment at Walson’s facilities. The medevac mission remained active until the hospital closed in the mid-1990s as part of military downsizing and restructuring.
