United States Army Medical Command

The United States Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) was established in 1994 to provide comprehensive medical, dental, and veterinary care to soldiers, their families, and eligible beneficiaries. MEDCOM consolidated various Army medical functions under a single command, improving efficiency and readiness. The command oversees Army hospitals, clinics, research facilities, and preventive medicine programs worldwide. In 2019, as part of a broader reorganization, many of MEDCOM’s responsibilities were transferred to the Defense Health Agency, but it continues to play a vital role in ensuring the health and medical readiness of Army personnel.
