“The Army plans to reduce the size of some of its 36 wounded warrior units by the end of the month and close three by October after tightening standards to stem a flood of patients, a spokesman said Tuesday. The warrior transition units were created in 2007 to address reports of substandard care for wounded, ill and injured soldiers. The number of soldiers in these units has dropped from a high of more than 12,000 last June to about 9,500 currently as the Army screened patients more closely.” (06/09/09)
