Army Wounded Warrior Program Expands

Week of November 24, 2008

The Army's Wounded Warrior Program (AW2) has expanded its criteria to allow more severely wounded, ill and injured servicemembers to participate in the program. Soldiers with a combined disability rating of 50 percent will be eligible for the program as long as the injuries are combat-related. Soldiers with a disability rating of 30 percent for a single injury or illness, whether or not it is combat-related, still remain eligible for the program. Newly-eligible Soldiers will be contacted by AW2 to enroll. For more information, visit the Wounded Warrior Program (AW2) website.
