A Company, Fitzsimons Army Medical Center, was a key medical support unit stationed at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado. Throughout its operational years, A Company provided essential medical, logistical, and administrative support to the hospital, which was renowned for its treatment of respiratory diseases and rehabilitation of wounded soldiers, especially during and after World War II. The unit played a vital role in training Army medical personnel and supporting patient care during the Vietnam era and the Cold War. Following the closure of Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in 1999, A Company was deactivated as part of the Army's broader realignment and restructuring.

Fitzsimons Army Medical Center, located in Aurora, Colorado, was established in 1918 as U.S. Army General Hospital No. 21 to treat soldiers wounded in World War I and those suffering from tuberculosis. Named in honor of Lt. William T. Fitzsimons, the first American Army officer killed in World War I, the facility rapidly expanded during World War II, becoming a key center for medical research, treatment, and training. Over the decades, Fitzsimons played a critical role in military medicine, including caring for President Dwight D. Eisenhower after his 1955 heart attack. The Army decommissioned the medical center in 1999, and the site is now part of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center (EAMC), located at Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon) in Augusta, Georgia, was officially dedicated in 1975 and named in honor of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States and a World War II Supreme Allied Commander. EAMC serves as the premier medical facility for the U.S. Army in the southeastern United States, providing comprehensive healthcare to service members, retirees, and their families. Throughout its history, the center has supported military operations by training medical personnel and deploying teams for contingencies and humanitarian missions worldwide. EAMC remains a vital component of Army Medicine, advancing readiness and health through patient care, education, and research.
