Celebrating Two Birthdays: Army 250th and WACH's 45th

By Cherry Langston

FORT IRWIN, Calif.  –   Today isn’t just about numbers — it’s about purpose.

250 years ago, the United States Army was born with a mission: to defend this nation and serve its people. That mission lives on — not only on the battlefield, but in every place where Soldiers train, fight, recover, and prepare to serve again.
For 45 of those years, Weed Army Community Hospital has stood as a living part of that legacy — not apart from it, but embedded within it. Our role may look different, but our commitment is the same. We don’t just support the Army mission — we are the Army mission.
Right here at Fort Irwin, our civilian medics, nurses, doctors, technicians, and support staff work shoulder-to-shoulder with Army Medicine Soldiers. Together, we heal the wounded, strengthen the ready, and care for the families who stand behind every warfighter.
We do this not as separate entity, but as one team— guided by the same Army values: loyalty – duty – respect – selfless service – honor –integrity – and personal courage.
Together, we defend. 
Together, we care. 
And together, we ensure that the spirit of the Army endures for generations to come.
