Proposed VSO Development Program

• CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
• To develop VSO support for wounded warriors at
  Local, State and National levels using Regiment
  Guidance
• The strength of the Marine Corps Wounded
  Warrior (WW) Program and what we feel sets it
  apart from the other Service WW Programs, is
  the focus on the intangibles. Success for the
  Marine Corps is not having the most resources -
  people and money it is taking care of our
  Marines and Sailors. That means caring and
  concerned leadership focused on the WW and his
  family. We dont put them through a process - we
  develop a personal relationship based on
  the bond of being a Marine.

The Wounded Warrior Regiment will provide and
facilitate assistance to wounded/ill/ injured
Marines, Sailors attached to or in support of
Marine units, and their family members,
throughout the phases of recovery.
Mission Statement

• Because of the quality and quantity of their
  manpower resources, Veterans Service
  Organizations possess great potential as a
  resource to tap into for assistance to our
  wounded/ill/injured Marines and Sailors.
