Army Wounded Warrior Program

The U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program (AW2) is a program administered by the U.S Army Warrior Transition Command that assists severely wounded soldiers and families from injury throughout recovery for as long as they need help.
The U.S. Army created the AW2 program in response to the needs of the most severely wounded, injured, or ill soldiers from the Global War on Terrorism. The initiative is a response to the growing number of soldiers wounded in operations in the Iraq War and Afghanistan.
April 2009 marked the program's fifth year of service.
