History

World War II

The 30th Medical Regiment was constituted in the Regular Army on 1 October 1933, allotted to the Ninth Corps Area, and assigned to the Fourth Army. [8] It was activated in June 1934 in Texas, [9] and was organized by December 1934 with Organized Reserve personnel as a "Regular Army Inactive" (RAI) unit with headquarters at Butte, Montana. It was withdrawn from the Ninth Corps Area 5 June 1936 and allotted to the Seventh Corps Area, at the same time being returned to an inactive status. Its designated mobilization training station was Fort Francis E. Warren, Wyoming, 1933-36. [8]

The regiment was mobilized on 25 June 1942 at Camp Barkeley, Texas as the 30th Medical Regiment (Armored), and was broken up during the middle of the 1943 Louisiana Maneuvers at Rosepine, Louisiana on 8 September 1943 with the regimental headquarters redesignated as the Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 30th Medical Group, its subordinate organic battalion headquarters reorganized as separate numbered battalion headquarters, and its organic companies reorganized into separate numbered clearing and collecting companies. [9]

In 1944, the group was transferred to Liverpool, England in November 1944 and onward to Omaha Beach. After arriving on the continent, the group provided area medical support to the staging area at Valognes, France until it was assigned to the Ninth United States Army on 4 December 1944. [10] There, it served alongside the 1st, 31st, and 64th Medical Groups in providing Echelon III support to the soldiers of the Ninth Army. [11] There, the groups supported the Ninth Army in its drive through the Rhine and Ruhr valleys, through the Battle of the Bulge, and the advance to the Elbe river. [10]

After the end of hostilities, the group found itself supervising the hospitalization of repartiated former allied Prisoners of War, displaced civilians, and former allied military personnel. The group's area of operation covered some 350 square miles in the area of Wittenberg, Salzwedel, Hannover, Braunschweig, and Magdeburg. Once they completed this mission, the group headquarters staged at Kappel, Germany to prepare for redeployment to the United States to refit and reequip for the fight against Japan. The group left Germany on 27 June 1945 for Camp Philadelphia, near Reims, France for preparation for overseas movement. The group left Camp Philadelphia on 8 August 1945 for the Calais Staging Area near Marseilles and was in the staging are when World War II ended. The group departed France aboard the UAST Borinquen, arriving at the New York Port of Embarkation on 30 August 1945, when it proceeded to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. [10]

After returning to the United States, the group was assigned to the general reserve (those active-duty forces retained in the Continental United States for commitment worldwide). [9] The group served in a training status at Camp Swift, Texas, Camp Polk, Louisiana, and Fort Moore, Georgia before finally being inactivated at Fort Moore on 6 June 1949. [10]

Korean War

In the spring of 1953, Brigadier General L. Holmes Ginn, an Army Medical Department general officer who served as the Eighth Army Surgeon, requested the addition of a medical group headquarters to provide command and control of the medical units which were then reporting directly to the Eighth Army Surgeon's Office, in accordance with then-current doctrine. This, he felt, would enhance the management and integration of medical support operations at the army level and improve the quality of medical care. [9]

The Department of the Army granted authority to reactivate the 30th Medical Group to serve as this command and control headquarters, and the group was reactivated on 25 March 1953 but remained at zero strength until it received its first personnel on 25 May 1963. The original cadre for the group came from the Surgeon's Office of the Eighth Army Headquarters, and the first commander of the reactivated group was Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Lindsay, MC, who had been serving as the medical operations officer on the Surgeon's staff. [9]

The group headquarters became operational on 4 June 1953, assuming operational control over all separate Eighth Army medical units except for two evacuation hospitals, a medical intelligence detachment, and a military history detachment, all of which remained under the direct control of the Eighth Army Surgeon.
