It has the medical capability of a 248-bed hospital, providing operating rooms, emergency medical triage and treatment facilities, intensive care units, minimal care wards and neuropsychiatry services.

In March 2012 about 180 Soldiers from the 48th CSH deployed for a nine-month assignment in Kuwait in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
