This is the AW2 Mission statement:
The U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program assists and advocates for wounded Soldiers and their Families throughout their lifetimes, wherever they are located.
Initially established in April, 2004 as the Disabled Soldier Support System (DS3), the Army responded to the needs of the most severely wounded, injured or ill Soldiers who were returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Today, AW2 serves more than 2,300 Soldiers and their Families, focusing on the most severely injured Soldiers and their Families. The Army Wounded Warrior Program frequently communicates with Soldiers and their Families to pro-actively address and mitigate issues they encounter.
