The U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA), headquartered at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, was established in 1942 as part of the Army’s efforts to protect soldier health and well-being. Initially focused on preventive medicine and controlling disease in the military, USAEHA evolved to address environmental health challenges such as water quality, industrial hygiene, and hazardous material management. Throughout the Cold War and beyond, the agency provided expert assessments and technical guidance to Army installations worldwide. In 1994, USAEHA was reorganized into the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM), continuing its mission under a new name.
