U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program (AW2)

HTTP://wtc.army.mil/aw2/

This is the official U.S. Army program that assists and advocates for severely wounded, ill, and injured soldiers, veterans, and their families, wherever they are located, regardless of military status. WTs who qualify for AW2 are assigned to the program as soon as possible after arriving at the WTU. AW2 supports these soldiers and their families throughout their recovery and transition, even into veteran status. This program, through the local support of AW2 advocates, strives to foster the WT's independence.
