Warrior Care News" is an Army-wide effort to educate Soldiers and their families about Warrior Care programs and resources available to them. While the Strength of the Nation is the Army, the Strength of the Army is the Soldier. The Army recognizes the debt it owes to our wounded, ill and injured service members, and their families, for their sacrifices. The news and resources available on this page have been chosen to help get our Wounded Warriors back into the fight, or to ensure they are taken care of as they transition on to rewarding careers and lives after the Army.
