ARLINGTON, VA. - Army policy does not forbid outside agencies from assisting Soldiers in reviewing their narratives during the 10-day review period.  The Army has no objection to anyone with appropriate skills and information assisting our Soldiers in the Medical Evaluation Board/Physical Evaluation Board process," the Army told NPR Feb. 6."  "The Army's review of disability retirement rates for Fort Drum cases found that average ratings for Fort Drum Soldiers for 2007 are within 1 percent of the averages for similar installations. The Tiger team didn't intend any controversy or conflict.  We all regret any misunderstanding.  As a precaution, the Army Surgeon General's staff will reinforce this policy by providing a reminder to Warrior Care and Transition teams to ensure clear understanding of the Army's position on this practice," the Army's reply to NPR concluded.

We appreciate the helpful attitudes and behavior of the VA staff at Fort Drum.  The Soldier can consult veterans' service organizations, lawyers or JAGs, VA or any informed and helpful advisor.

The Army Medical Action Plan is a nationwide effort.  The Army has more than 2,000 Soldiers assigned to Warrior Transition Units at 34 posts throughout the United States helping wounded Soldiers.  There are more than 9,500 Warriors In Transition -- wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers -- receiving care and support to recover medically as well as to handle administrative needs.  Each Warrior in Transition has a squad leader, a nurse case manager and a primary-care manager to ensure his or her needs are met.  The Wounded Warrior mission affirms: "I am a Warrior in Transition. My job is to heal as I transition back to duty or become a productive, responsible citizen in society. This is not a status but a mission. I will succeed in this mission because I am a Warrior.
