Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center (EAMC), located at Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon) in Augusta, Georgia, was officially dedicated in 1975 and named in honor of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States and a World War II Supreme Allied Commander. EAMC serves as the premier medical facility for the U.S. Army in the southeastern United States, providing comprehensive healthcare to service members, retirees, and their families. Throughout its history, the center has supported military operations by training medical personnel and deploying teams for contingencies and humanitarian missions worldwide. EAMC remains a vital component of Army Medicine, advancing readiness and health through patient care, education, and research.

The 43rd Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) was a United States Army unit established during the Korean War, tasked with providing rapid and advanced surgical care close to the front lines. Renowned for its mobility and efficiency, the 43rd MASH played a crucial role in saving countless lives by stabilizing wounded soldiers before they were evacuated to more permanent medical facilities. The unit became widely recognized in popular culture due to its portrayal in the novel, film, and television series "M*A*S*H," though the stories were a blend of fiction and accounts from various MASH units. The innovations and experiences of the 43rd MASH contributed significantly to the development of modern battlefield medicine and led to the evolution of the contemporary Combat Support Hospital (CSH) system.
