Operation Warfighter

Are you an active duty wounded, ill, or injured service member looking for an internship opportunity?

Operation Warfighter (OWF) is a Department of Defense internship program that matches qualified wounded, ill, and injured service members with federal internships in order for them to gain valuable work experience during their recovery and rehabilitation. OWF assists service members’ reintegration to duty or transition into the civilian work environment by developing skills, knowledge, and experience in a non-military setting.
