Cutler Army Hospital was a United States Army medical facility located at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. Established during World War II, it served as a key treatment and rehabilitation center for wounded soldiers returning from overseas combat operations. Named in honor of Major General Elliott C. Cutler, a renowned Army surgeon, the hospital played a vital role in providing both acute and long-term care throughout the war and into the Cold War period. The facility was eventually decommissioned as military medical needs shifted and Fort Devens’ mission changed in the latter half of the 20th century.

Madigan Army Medical Center, located on Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington, was established in 1944 as Madigan General Hospital, named after Colonel Patrick S. Madigan, the "Father of Army Neuropsychiatry." Initially serving as a key medical facility during World War II, it provided care for wounded soldiers returning from the Pacific Theater. Over the decades, Madigan evolved into a premier military medical center, offering comprehensive healthcare services to active duty, retirees, and their families, as well as serving as a major teaching hospital. Today, Madigan Army Medical Center stands as one of the largest and most advanced military medical centers in the United States, supporting both peacetime care and readiness for military operations worldwide.
