This photo captures more than just machinery — it shows a century of progress in mechanized medical transportation. From navigating triage stations among the muddy trenches of the First World War to rapid air evacuation on today’s modern battlefields, the Army Medical Corps has evolved dramatically, but its mission has remained steadfast: Saving lives and bringing our wounded home.![]()
