'Today's Air Force' features warrior care

  • Published
This edition of "Today's Air Force" highlights a different type of therapy for wounded warriors. While most rehabilitation occurs within the walls of medical facilities, new and unique organizations are now able to treat wounded warriors outside medical facilities.

Also featured is a plan to establish a center for excellence at Bethesda, Maryland, that will specialize in research and development in finding new treatments for traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder.

Finally, see how Airmen partner with South American allies during a first-ever "Operation Southern Partner."
