- U.S. Army Recovery Care Program develops, coordinates and integrates the Army’s Recovery Care Program (ARCP) for wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers, Veterans and their families or Caregivers to promote success in the force of civilian life. ARCP serves an essential role, not only in managing the care and recovery of Soldiers evacuated from theater, but also those preparing to deploy and those who have returned from combat that require complex care management to cope with the effects of war and multiple deployments. ARCP works to ensure everything possible is done to enable Soldiers to return to duty. ARCP also plays an important role in ensuring Reserve Component Soldiers receive the care they require prior to and after deployment to remain mission ready.
- U.S. Navy Wounded Warrior (NWW) is the Navy’s sole organization for coordinating the non-medical care of seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen, and providing resources and support to their families. Through proactive leadership, the program provides individually-tailored assistance designed to optimize the success of the wounded warriors’ recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration activities.
- U.S. Air Force Wounded Warrior (AFW2) works together with the Air Force Survivor Assistance Program, Airman & Family Readiness Centers and the Air Force Medical Service to provide concentrated non-medical care and support for combat wounded, ill and injured Airmen (and their families) as they recover and transition back to duty or into civilian life. The Air Force defines a wounded warrior as “any Airman who is seriously wounded, ill, or injured that may require a Medical Evaluation Board/Physical Evaluation Board to determine fitness for duty.”
- U.S. Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment (USMC_WWR) provides leadership and ensures compliance with laws and Department of Defense (DOD) regulations related to the support, recovery, and non-medical care of combat and non-combat wounded, ill, and injured (WII) Marines, Sailors attached to Marine unites, and their family members in order to maximize their recovery as they return to duty or transition to civilian life.
- U.S. Special Operation Command (SOCOM) Warrior Care Program (Care Coalition) was established to provide Special Operations Forces (SOF) wounded, ill, or injured Service Members and their families advocacy after life changing events in order to navigate through recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration as quickly as possible, strengthening SOF readiness. Whether you are returning operational status, moving into a different field or transitioning into Veteran status, the USSOCOM Warrior Care Program (Care Coalition) will help you get there.
