The Army Nurse is a short documentary propaganda film commissioned by the US military to highlight the role and contributions of army nurses.

The film opens with a combat scene in the summer of 1945, when the war becomes a million men old (presumably the Battle of Okinawa) one of the soldiers is show getting wounded and the scene goes woozy. The narrator notes "This is the time for you to decide what you're gonna be: a soldier that gets injured and dies, or a soldier that gets injured and lives." The GI soon realizes that he is no longer on the battlefield but in a hospital, and he is being taken care of by a familiar face, the army nurse.

The film then commences a discussion of the army nurse's training and life during the war, beginning with basic training. The nurses had to go through the same BT regiment as the soldiers, learning how to scale walls, survive in the wilderness, and set up a hospital in the bush. They are sent to where ever they are needed, whether at home or overseas. It they are overseas they live in much the same conditions as the soldiers they minister to, sleeping in GI cots, in GI tents, and were the same uniforms and helmets, which they find various practical uses for. They also take the same time out to go to USO shows. The film ends with a short statement from the head of the Army Nurses Service, asking the audience to buy war bonds.

The documentary tells the history of the secret U.S. Army unit of 1100 troops that was set up in 1944 and operated until 1945 in the final stages of World War II in the fight against German troops in various parts of Europe. They used a combination of different ways of visual, sonic and radio deception to convince the enemy of the presence of specific Army units that were in fact operating elsewhere. The unit included a large number of visual artists and designers who documented their experiences in paintings and sketches. The materiel employed in the 23rd Army Headquarters Special Troops' operations included decoys such as inflatable rubber tanks and jeeps as well as powerful loudspeaker trucks playing sound recordings of troop activity.
