History
The first Quartermaster laundry services came in 1909 when Congress authorized government laundry services at isolated posts, mostly in the West. With little guidance post quartermasters developed their own laundries, and their own policies. As the United States entered World War I, the Army constructed training camps across the United States, including Camp Lee near Petersburg VA. Here the Quartermaster built and operated fixed laundry facilities for the new Soldiers. These years also marked a time of major advances in medicine, when doctors began to learn about bacteria and how they can be spread through insects. The first priority for laundry services went to medical units. Patients, doctors, and the medical personnel all required clean clothes and linens to minimize the spread of infection. Even today medical units are a huge customer for laundry services.
