25th Med Batt 25TH div

The 25th Medical Battalion was an essential support unit of the 25th Infantry Division, known as the "Tropic Lightning," formed during World War II. Activated in 1941, the battalion provided critical medical care, evacuation, and support for division troops throughout the Pacific campaigns, including Guadalcanal and Luzon. During the Korean War, the 25th Medical Battalion again distinguished itself by rapidly treating and evacuating wounded soldiers under combat conditions. The unit continued its legacy during the Vietnam War, adapting to new challenges such as rapid helicopter medical evacuation and establishing advanced field medical care in support of the 25th Infantry Division's operations.
