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.
