Fact Sheet WWR Overview

Ou r M i s s i o n

The mission of the Wounded Warrior Regiment (WWR) is to provide leadership and

facilitate the integration of non-medical and medical care to combat and non-combat

wounded, ill, and injured (WII) Marines, sailors attached to Marine units, and their

family members in order to maximize their recovery as they return to duty or transition

to civilian life.

Members of the WWR will assist recovering Marines through the

recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration phases, offering guidance and

expertise. The Marine Corps care model is to ensure recovering Marines

return to their operational forces as quickly as their medical conditions will

allow.

Has injuries that will require more than 90 days of medical

treatment or rehabilitation

Has three or more appointments of complex nature each week

command cannot support
