Air Force Wounded Warrior Program (AFW2)

The Air Force Wounded Warrior (AFW2) Program is a Congressionally-mandated and federally-funded program that provides personalized care, services and advocacy to Total Force seriously or very seriously wounded, ill or injured service members. In addition to well-coordinated & individualized personal support, AFW2 advocates on behalf of our warriors to ensure accessibility of care and provide them with a host of support programs. The AFW2 staff is committed to helping wounded warriors minimize delays and gaps in both medical and non-medical services, while focusing on specific personal and family needs.

The program’s goal is to provide recovering service members (RSMs) the necessary services so they can successfully recover, move-forward with the necessary resiliency skills and fortitude to go about their daily lives. The Department of Veteran Affairs is charged with taking over continued long-term support, with AFW2 providing limited support once a service member is permanently separated or retired.
