The article lists major Military Hospitals active in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations  (MTO). It does also include minor Theaters such as: Africa-Middle East Theater (AMET), Bermuda Base Command (BBC), Caribbean Defense Command (CDC), Greenland Base Command (GBC), Iceland Base Command (IBC), Newfoundland Base Command (NBC), Persian Gulf Command (PGC), US Army Forces in Central Canada (USAFCC), US Army Forces in Eastern Canada (USAFEC), US Army Forces in Central Africa (USAFICA), US Army Forces in Liberia (USAFIL), US Army Forces in the Middle East (USAFIME), and US Army Forces South Atlantic (USAFSA).

Background:

The United States Army entered the scene of conflict in the Middle East on a limited scale in 1941 as a result of the urgent need of British and Soviet Armies for military supplies and equipment. In September and October 1941 a US Military North African Mission visited the region in order to draft plans for American help programs. Projects included construction of port facilities and establishment of shops for repair of American-supplied aircraft, tanks, locomotives and signal equipment. The work was to be carried out by civilian contractors who worked under Lend-Lease Act regulations, because the United States was not a belligerent!
The Mission Surgeon (Maj. Crawford F. Sams) completed medical and sanitary surveys in order to plan for future medical operations. For the time being, the British Forces supplied hospitalization of all US personnel, both civilian and military, but medical supplies were already forthcoming from the United States. Gradually, Dispensaries as well as limited Station Hospitals were developed. Following the Declaration of War, the US Military North African Mission was completely militarized by April 10, 1941, and all projects were now brought under military control…

Three main Area Commands were organized to supervise construction work and arrival of US aid; “Heliopolis” – “Eritrea” – “Palestine”, and soon medical plans under the new organization called for construction of Military Hospitals.

Another pre-war Mission was under way in October 1941, to help the British deliver military supplies to Russia through the Persian corridor, and the US were laying the groundwork for extensive port and rail construction work in Iran and Iraq. The US Military Iranian Mission was accompanied by a Surgeon (Lt. Col. Hall G. Van Vlack), who would later be in charge of all medical facilities in the area.

Both the North African and Iranian Missions closed office June 1942, and were replaced by the “United States Army Forces in the Middle East” (USAFIME), which now operated as a Theater of Operations, with Lt. Col. Crawford F. Sams as responsible Theater Surgeon. The United States Ninth Air Force, the major American combat force in the Middle East Theater had its own Theater Surgeon (Col. Edward J. Kendricks, Jr.), until the Ninth Air Force left for England in October 1943.

Minor Base Commands were set up in various African countries, to defend US installations, provide hospitalization and other medical services, build transit installations, improve local sanitation, and carry out local construction projects.

The German ‘Blitzkrieg’ in May 1940, along with the conquest of Holland, Belgium, and France, stimulated US plans for a dynamic defence of the Western Hemisphere, that would inevitably include outposts far from American shores. The US-British Agreement (2 Sep 40) exchanging 50 old US destroyers for bases on British soil in the Caribbean and the Atlantic, covered the establishment of Army-Navy-Air Corps bases and installations in countries such as Antigua, Bermuda, the Bahamas, British Guiana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Trinidad, and others.

In mid-1941 American Forces relieved the British garrison in Iceland,  while other US Forces moved into Greenland (with agreement of the Danish Govt). Separate agreements with the Dutch Government led to transfer of American troops to Aruba and Curaçao, the Netherlands Indies, and Surinam. For reasons of air ferry routes, transit access, and overall strategy, both Army and Air Corps personnel were stationed in the North and South Atlantic areas, as well as in Canada and in Brazil. Existing Military Departments in Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal Zone were reinforced.

The medical build-up could now begin …
