'NURSES' Training Page from the Scott Field Book, WWII Army Nurse Corps Field Exercises

This page from the Scott Field Book documents the physical and field training required of Army Nurse Corps personnel during World War II. Photographs show nurses navigating obstacle courses, crawling through simulated combat terrain, and practicing gas mask drills - training that prepared these women for the demanding and sometimes dangerous conditions of wartime medical service.
