CBHCOs provide RC Warriors in Transition (WT) high-quality health care and administrative processing through nine CBHCO units, managing more than 1,300 Soldiers, who live in all parts of the country.
Through CBHCOs, experienced nurse case managers coordinate health care appointments, track WT's progress, and ensure care meets Army, and TRICARE, standards. More than 350 Army National Guard (ARNG), and many Army Reserve Soldiers, are assigned as cadre in support of CBHCOs, alongside their fellow Reserve Component health care professionals.
Before CBHCO, injured or ill RC Soldiers who remained on active duty for treatment had to live at an Active Army installation. Not only did their numbers grow, challenging installation housing and medical capacities, Soldiers were away from their Families, units, and communities, while receiving medical care. The CBHCOs have given Warriors in Transition, and their Families, more opportunity to be close to one another, and to heal.
The Army Reserve and ARNG continue to support the CBHCO mission by mobilizing both C2 and Army Medical Department (AMEDD) personnel, from a number of states, to work with the CBHCO WTs. This support brings RC expertise to health care, and to the individual requirements faced by each Soldier.
The Army Reserve and the ARNG remain committed to supporting the medical needs of their Warriors in Transition and Families. The RC also will continue to extend services to deployed Soldiers’ Families throughout the mobilization cycle.
