The balance of the hospital's seven months of training preparation included field exercises, backing infantry divisions for battle preparation. Preparation carried on for 90 days, at which time the hospitals added medical personnel, plus 40 registered nurses. Others were assigned to the substantial motor pool, while others were sent Cooks and Bakers School. As work progressed, testing evaluation brought assignment of the men: those qualifying became staff in radiology, laboratory and the administrative functions. Once assembled, the next arrivals (who came from a vast mixture of backgrounds, including 35 who were recently students on university campuses) pursued two objectives: an in-depth training in basic emergency care and the need for the personnel to have strength and the ability to perform military duties in the field. ► First-ever USS Pensacola was victim of political pressures ► Roosevelt used personal crisis to rally America during Depression ► Where's the fair?

Three of the evacs were assembled and that personnel trained in the South at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. They were established and worked like this: In 1945, these units were called evacuation hospitals. TV viewers probably have seen a portrayal of this program from their view of the TV show "MASH." In 1945, such care units did exist, and they saved many, many lives. Placing sharp focus on this truly deserved service has been justified, yet studying today's care also raises a thought to examine how care for the military (especially Army) began, looking back to World War II, especially in Europe.Īs allies fought their way across Germany following the Battle of the Bulge, a relatively new health service was in play, and many a man who survived his wounds did so because that program existed. The story content has varied for there are ongoing criticisms of the availability of hospital beds, and the delays which many men and women have suffered, these coming from medical professional shortages. Over months past, media outlets have provided a number of stories related to health care for military veterans.
