TEAM SOCOM

The U.S. Special Operations Command Warrior Care Program (Care Coalition) provides a comprehensive, tailored approach to the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded, ill and injured Special Operations Forces (SOF). In keeping with the first SOF truth, “humans are more important than hardware,” the primary objective is retention and reintegration of SOF back into their units, with the ability to conduct a smooth transition into veteran status when necessary. Incorporation of adaptive sports provides peer-to-peer mentorship and a healthy, sustainable lifestyle that accelerates the individual’s physical and mental recovery. In keeping with their competitive nature, SOF also partake in unitlevel competitions, adaptive sports camps, the DOD Warrior Games, and other national and international events.
