**WRAMC Co. C** (Company C, Walter Reed Army Medical Center) was a pivotal component of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, located in Washington, D.C. Traditionally, units like Company C were responsible for providing administrative, logistical, and operational support to the hospital’s extensive medical mission, ensuring both patient care and military readiness. The company played an essential role in supporting wounded service members, especially during major conflicts such as the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, coordinating care and facilitating rehabilitation. It was inactivated in 2011, along with the closure of WRAMC, as operations transitioned to the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), located in Bethesda, Maryland, was established in 2011 through the merger of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center. Its origins trace back to the founding of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., in 1909, named after the famed Army physician Walter Reed. Over the decades, the center has served as the premier military medical facility in the United States, providing advanced care to service members, veterans, and their families, as well as presidents and other national leaders. Today, WRNMMC stands as a symbol of military medical excellence and a key component of the Defense Health Agency.
