TEAM MARINE CORPS

The Wounded Warrior Regiment (WWR) approaches each individual Marine and sailor’s recovery as a relationship, not a process, and encourages healing in all aspects of life. The WWR provides leadership and guidance related to the support and care of combat and non-combat wounded, ill, and injured Marines, sailors attached to Marine units, and their family members to maximize their recovery as they return to duty or transition to civilian life. To help recovering service members (RSMs) address the various challenges of their wound, illness, or injury, the WWR focuses on four separate lines of operation: the mind, body, spirit, and family. Our RSMs are introduced to adaptive sports and reconditioning activities through the Warrior Athlete Reconditioning Program (WAR-P) – a major component of the recovery process. Through the WAR-P, Marines can choose to participate in daily activities, unit-level competitions, and large-scale events, such as the Marine Corps Trials and DOD Warrior Games.
