Many of our Soldiers injured in support of the Global War on Terror and their families have been enduring hardships in navigating through our medical care system. Our Army is committed to providing outstanding medical care for the men and women who have volunteered to serve this great nation. The Acting Secretary of the Army and Chief of Staff of the Army have directed the establishment of the "Wounded Soldier and Family Hotline" to provide wounded Soldiers and their families with a way to seek help to resolve their medical related issues. Get information on the CSA Wounded Soldier and Family Hotline. |
