The 807th Theater Medical Command (TMC), formerly the 807th Medical Command (Deployment Support) (MC(DS)), is headquartered at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City, Utah. It manages all U.S. Army Reserve deployable field medical units west of the Mississippi River, comprising approximately 8,300 servicemembers across five Medical Brigades and 142 deployable field medical units from Ohio to California. [3] The 807th TMC provides general, surgical, dental, ambulance, behavioral health, preventive medicine, and veterinary support to Army forces and civilian populations, delivering theater‐level health service support under U.S. Southern Command. It also augments all other geographic combatant commands and routinely has elements of up to ten units and some 300 Soldiers deployed worldwide. Its mission is to remain “operationally ready and responsive, capable of providing superior health service support and force health protection to the Joint Force in large‐scale combat operations.”
The 807th Theater Medical Command oversees all operational Reserve medical units west of the Mississippi River (except Louisiana). [3]
