Research Shows Three Misperceptions Prevent Employment of “Wounded Warriors”

(Before It's News)

The U.S. Army Warrior Transition Command (WTC) is a major subordinate command under the U.S. Army Medical Command.  WTC provides oversight for the Warrior Care and Transition Program that is implemented at the Army’s 29 Warrior Transition Units (WTUs) where more than 10,000 wounded, ill and injured soldiers receive complex medical care for more than six months. At WTUs each soldier develops a personalized comprehensive transition plan with short- and long-term goals in six domains: physical, social, spiritual, emotional, family and career. Currently, 9.7 percent of WTU soldiers were wounded in combat; however, 87 percent previously served in combat at some point in their Army careers.
