Military nursing history

Capt. Sara Hall and Ensign Gizella Papp, U.S. military nurses, tend to several injured service members on a medical evacuation flight aboard a C-97 transport plane during the Korean War, July 28, 1950. Hall was in the U.S. Air Force while Papp served in the U.S. Navy. The Defense Health Agency is celebrating National Nurses Week 2026, May 6-12, and it’s almost 250 years of nursing legacy. Built upon a rich history of supporting warfighter medical readiness, military nurses spearhead force health protection, combat care, and the ability of service members to stay healthy and ready for the mission.
