Warrior Transition Battalion, JBLM, WA

The Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB) at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Washington, was established to provide comprehensive care and support to wounded, ill, and injured soldiers as they transition either back to active duty or to civilian life. Activated in the late 2000s as part of the Army’s response to the growing need for specialized care during the Global War on Terrorism, the battalion integrated medical, mental health, and administrative services under one command. Over the years, WTB JBLM played a crucial role in rehabilitating thousands of soldiers, fostering resilience and recovery through personalized treatment plans and adaptive programs. The battalion’s mission and structure evolved as part of the Army’s broader Soldier Recovery Unit (SRU) initiative, continuing its legacy of dedicated service and support to America’s warriors.
