army nurses

Battlefield medical staff

Army nurses are military personnel who provide medical care within an army's healthcare system.

They serve in military hospitals, field units, and combat zones, treating wounded soldiers and other patients.

The term often evokes historical images of wartime service: Army nurses worked around the clock during the Battle of the Bulge.

Most armies now integrate nurses fully into their medical corps rather than maintaining separate nursing branches.
