Medical Service Corp

The Medical Service Corps (MSC) is a vital branch within the United States Army, officially established on June 30, 1947, though its roots trace back to earlier Army medical support roles. The Corps was formed to provide expert administrative, scientific, and clinical support to the Army Medical Department, encompassing specialties such as pharmacy, laboratory science, and health administration. Throughout its history, the MSC has played a critical role in every major conflict since World War II, ensuring the health and readiness of soldiers through innovative medical logistics and research. Today, the Medical Service Corps continues to adapt, supporting both combat and humanitarian missions worldwide with highly trained officers in numerous medical and scientific fields.
