520th Medical Clearing Company
U.S. Army
The 520th Medical Clearing Company was a specialized medical unit in the United States Army, activated during World War II. Its primary mission was to provide medical treatment and triage to wounded soldiers near the front lines, stabilizing patients for further evacuation to field hospitals. The company participated in several major campaigns in the European Theater, including the Normandy landings and the subsequent drive across France and into Germany. After the war, the 520th Medical Clearing Company was inactivated as part of the broader post-war demobilization efforts.
