What is Mobile Army Surgical Hospital?
A '''Mobile Army Surgical Hospital''' (or '''M.A.S.H.''' or '''MASH''') was a medical center used during [[war]]s, to care for and fix injured soldiers who got hurt in the fighting. They were an alternative to field hospitals and real hospitals which were used in [[World War II]]. During the [[Korean War]], thanks to these kinds of hospitals, soldiers had a 97% chance of surviving an injury. They were also used in the [[Vietnam War]] and the first [[Gulf War]], but were gradually replaced by [[Combat Support Hospitals]] or CSHs which are used today. Many people know about these places due to a well-known movie and later TV show called ''[[M*A*S*H (TV series)|M*A*S*H]]'', which was set in a hospital like this during the [[Korean War]]. {{med-stub}} {{military-stub}} [[Category:Hospitals]]
