THE US ARMY FIELD HOSPITAL 191-1945

The evacuation hospital is the health unit capable of providing all types of definitive medical and surgical care, the most advanced towards the front. Since entering the war in 1941, the United States has deployed considerable energy and committed a colossal budget to ensure that the best care is provided to soldiers and, above all, that their chances of survival after a combat injury or illness are significantly improved. The field hospital is a major tool in this mission of the health service. This comprehensive work describes its installation near the battlefield and the operation of its services, including personnel and equipment are presented in detail. This book, illustrated with numerous period documents, is dedicated to all the men and women who worked tirelessly in these Evacuation Hospitals during the Second World War.
