The Army Medical Department supports the war effort by providing the highest quality and most advanced medical care for Soldiers on the battlefield—saving more lives of Soldiers wounded in combat than ever before. Army leaders and medical professionals know that some wounds lie beneath the surface and are not always visible upon first assessment.

In an effort to ensure that injured warriors receive the appropriate assessments and highest level of outpatient care, the Army established the Warrior Transition Program.

Fort Leonard Wood's WTU was established in June 2007 and currently has over 130 Warriors in Transition. Besides Fort Leonard Wood, the unit is responsible for Wounded Warriors throughout the state of Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and Canada. A Warrior in Transition is an Active Component or Reserve Component Soldier who meets the qualifications of Medical Hold, Medical Holdover, or Active Duty Medical Extension. It also includes Active Component Soldiers who require a Medical Evaluation Board or have complex medical needs requiring greater than six months of treatment.

Fort Leonard Wood's Warrior Transition Unit provides command and control, primary care, and case management for service members receiving treatment for injuries suffered while deployed in the war on terror. The unit works to promote every injured warrior's timely return to the force or transition to civilian life.
