Army To Shut Down Some Specialized Care Units For Wounded Warriors

The Army will shut down some of its specialized care units for wounded warriors. The Army says the number of service members with complex physical, mental and emotional wounds has decreased dramatically as wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down. The Army has 25 warrior transition units open. It plans to close 10 of them by next August. Officials said they have the option to re-open them and restart the care if needed. About 3,600 service members are in the care units now.
