Korean War, MASH Unit Blood Supply, 1950

Caption: "M/Sgt. George Miller selects human blood for patient at the 8076th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital at Kunr-ri, Korea. November 27, 1950." The Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) refers to a United States Army medical unit serving as a fully functional hospital in a combat area of operations. The units were first established in August 1945, and were deployed during the Korean War and later conflicts. It was designed to get experienced personnel closer to the front, so that the wounded could be treated sooner and with greater success. Casualties were first treated at the point of injury through buddy aid, then routed through Battalion Aid Stations for emergency stabilizing surgery, and finally routed to the MASH for the most extensive treatment. This proved to be highly successful; during the Korean War, a seriously wounded soldier who made it to a MASH unit alive had a greater than 97% chance of survival once he received treatment. Photograph credited to Corporal Fred Rice, U.S. Army.
