U.S. Army Medical Command and the Office of the Surgeon General wish the Army Veterinary Corps a happy anniversary as they celebrate 98 years of faithful service on June 3. Since the Army Veterinary Corps was established in 1916, the Corps has proven to be a key enabler of safe and healthy operations for Soldiers and their Families. Military veterinary supervision at ration assembly and distribution points is critical to ensuring safe, wholesome food for our deployed service members. They also play a vital role in the health and safety of all military working animals. The Veterinary Corps helps to maximize available personnel strength, prevent disease and injury, and build resiliency. Their contributions are vital to ensuring we maintain a Ready and Healthy Force and for the Health of our Families and Retirees.
