This is an official Alabama Army National Guard web site which provides information concerning Medical Readiness information to military members and their families.

The Medical Detachment of Alabama (MED DET-AL) is a unit that was created following the de-activation of the 109th Evacuation Hospital in 1966.  The 109th Evac Hosp became the Health and Dental Clinic (Det 5 Medical) of the AL-ARNG State Area Command (STARC) and it was known to all as "DET 5 STARC."  The unit later changed into the MED DET-AL that we know today.

The overall goal of the Office of the State Surgeon is to support the TAG's Vision, Mission and Values by providing the following: - an integrated medical readiness team dedicated to mission accomplishment and individual soldier readiness - providing innovative medical leadership in a dynamic enviroment - assuring ready and deployable forces for federal, state and community missions
