• Operation Warfighter Initiative
  Operation Warfighter helps service members who are recovering from injury to learn valuable skills and build their resumes.
• Wounded Warrior Program 
  The Wounded Warrior Program helps disabled veterans navigate the complicated federal hiring process. Through this program, the Department recruits disabled veterans to serve in many different capacities in the Department.
