For American forces, the commencement of Operation Market Garden on September 17th began well, with the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions both securing their objectives in a reasonable amount of time. Though, the 82nd Airborne Division suffered a more costly capture following repeated German counterattacks for control of Nijmegen bridge. On this opening day, advance parties, aided by Dutch civilians began to search for potential locations for casualty clearing stations and attempted to treat wounded personnel already coming in. It wasn't until the next day that the majority of American medical personnel arrived in the area, most by glider. Once landed, medical companies immediately set to work on converting captured buildings such as abandoned schools or homes into fully-operational medica

Though, the 82nd Airborne Division suffered a more costly capture following repeated German counterattacks for control of Nijmegen bridge.

It wasn't until the next day that the majority of American medical personnel arrived in the area, most by glider. Once landed, medical companies immediately set to work on converting captured buildings such as abandoned schools or homes into fully-operational medical centers. For example, the 101st Airborne's 326th Airborne Medical Company used both a former tuberculosis sanitarium and a military tent facility to treat its casualties. The majority of casualties found in these facilities were American, though it wasn't uncommon for XXX Corps to drop off its casualties to hasten its advance towards Arnhem.
