Army Wounded Warrior Program
The Army Wounded Warrior Program (AW2) is a program within the United States Army that provides personalized support to severely wounded, ill, and injured soldiers and their families. Established in 2004, the program aims to assist soldiers in their transition back to duty or civilian life after experiencing significant injuries or illnesses during their service.
History[edit | edit source]
The Army Wounded Warrior Program was created in response to the increasing number of soldiers returning from deployments with severe injuries sustained in combat zones. Recognizing the need for specialized care and support for these individuals, the program was designed to address the unique challenges faced by wounded soldiers and their families.
Services[edit | edit source]
The AW2 program offers a range of services to support wounded soldiers in their recovery and rehabilitation. These services may include medical care, counseling, financial assistance, adaptive sports programs, and vocational training. Additionally, the program provides advocacy and assistance with navigating the complex military and veterans' benefits systems.
Eligibility[edit | edit source]
Soldiers who are eligible for the Army Wounded Warrior Program include those who have incurred serious injuries or illnesses while serving in the military. Eligibility criteria may vary, but generally, individuals with significant physical or psychological impairments resulting from their service are considered for enrollment in the program.
Support for Families[edit | edit source]
In addition to supporting wounded soldiers, the Army Wounded Warrior Program also offers assistance to their families. Family members may receive counseling, financial support, and access to resources to help them cope with the challenges of caring for a wounded loved one.
Impact[edit | edit source]
The Army Wounded Warrior Program has had a significant impact on the lives of thousands of wounded soldiers and their families. By providing comprehensive support and resources, the program has helped many individuals overcome their injuries and successfully reintegrate into civilian life or return to military service.
