The 44th Medical Brigade is a US Army unit located at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, providing health care and medical services to the Fort Liberty community, and continuing training in its combat support mission. It was the U.S. Army's second operational medical brigade and, when deployed to the Republic of Vietnam in 1966, the first to support ground combat operations.
