NAMRU EURAFCENT is the oldest continuously operating U.S. overseas medical research unit in the U.S. Military.

The command traces its origins to World War II, when U.S. Navy scientists supported the U.S. Typhus Commission in Egypt to combat diseases affecting troops and civilians.

The formal establishment of the command in Cairo, Egypt marked the beginning of permanent U.S. Navy overseas medical research in the region.
