When our wounded, ill or injured Rangers return from combat, the severity of their injuries are often to the degree that their disabilities prevent them and their families from being able to fully support themselves. The care provided by the government is often limited and insufficient to support their needs. LTWF provides ongoing support, from the moment of injury, through the short and long-term recovery and rehabilitation process.
Through our Wounded Ranger Recovery program, we work closely with United States Special Operations Command Warrior Care Program (Care Coalition) and Unit Command as we take a comprehensive approach to identifying and supporting the severely wounded Ranger during all phases of their recovery process.
