military hospital
Wartime medical facility
A military hospital is a medical facility operated by armed forces to treat service members, though many also serve veterans and military families.
These range from field hospitals near combat zones to permanent installations like Walter Reed.
The term sometimes appears in civilian contexts for any hospital under military administration.
