Company History
Since 1775, Army Medicine has conserved
the fighting strength of the Army by optimizing
Soldier performance as well as treating the
wounded, ill, and injured of those entrusted to
our care. Throughout the Army’s campaigns,
from the biting cold at Valley Forge to the
scorching heat of Iraq, Army Medicine served
alongside Soldiers providing comfort and care
to those in need.
Army Medicine’s experience pervades an ethos
of innovation in expeditionary health readiness
and the selfless service associated with
disciplined soldiering. We embody this ethos as
we look towards the future to remain first among
our peers in expeditionary medicine. Today’s
Army Health System ensures that the Total Army
will be physically and mentally prepared to promote our national interests at home and abroad,
while maintaining a continuum of care that provides over-watch to those in harm’s way. We are a
system for health where military and civilian teammates working throughout that continuum take
pride in their role ensuring robust physical and behavioral health of their fellow Warfighters in
challenging mission environments.
