Commanding General’s Intent
•Walter Reed provides a continuum of integrated care and services
• from point of injury to return to duty or
• transition to active citizenship.
•Warriors and their Families should receive a quality of care and services that is
commensurate with the sacrifice they provide to the Nation.
End State:
•Warrior Transition Units are established with the Triad of support consisting of:
• primary care manager (PCM),
• case manager (CM)
• squad leader (SL)
•Streamline the issues affecting Family care and disposition.
•Soldier and Family Assistance Centers are established at our supported
installations as entry points for Warriors in Transition.
•The Army & American people have a restored sense of confidence in the Army
Medical Department.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer
and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only
when we know our own darkness well can we be present
with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real
when we recognize our shared humanity.” Pema Chödrön, The Places That Scare You: A Guide to
Fearlessness in Difficult Times

Take Away Messages
• Maintaining and restoring the health of Warriors and their Families of
all eras is paramount for the military, the military health system and
the nation.
• It is team-based, multi-disciplinary and rests on honoring the service
and commitment of each Service Member.
• Lessons abound in how we can improve health & well-being and
restore health & function. Compassion is an essential element.
• Management of chronic pain is a complex, individual experience often
with comorbid elements for which care must be patient-centered and
individualized.
• Leadership in military health & healthcare is an inherent feature of
service in uniform and must be taught carefully and deliberately.
