Celebrating 250 years of Army Medicine.

H. Res. 612 is a non-binding House resolution that commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Army Medical Department (Army Medicine). Introduced in the 119th Congress, the measure honors the history, sacrifices, and innovations of Army Medicine—from its 1775 origins under Dr. Benjamin Church to its role in modern combat medicine and battlefield care. The resolution expresses gratitude for the Department’s dedication to the health and readiness of soldiers and to the broader mission of saving lives, and it recognizes the Medal of Honor recipients who have served within Army Medicine. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new policy or authorize funding, but it seeks to elevate public recognition and remembrance of Army Medicine’s contributions.
