<p>
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM or SOCOM) is a Unified Combatant Command that oversees Special Operations Forces from the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. The command is part of the Department of Defense.  USSOCOM is headquartered at MacDill AFB in Tampa.</span></span></p> 
<p>
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <strong class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">What does "Special Operations Forces" mean?</strong></span></p> 
<p>
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">Special Operations Forces are comprised of military service members who have been selected to receive special training and are assigned to special units. Examples include Army Rangers; Army Special Forces, known as Green Berets; Navy SEALs; Marine Special Operations; and Air Force Special Operations.  SOF service members are located at military installations and medical facilities throughout the country.</span></span></p> 
<p>
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <strong class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">What is the USSOCOM Warrior Care Program (Care Coalition)?</strong></span></p> 
<p>
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">The USSOCOM Warrior Care Program (Care Coalition) is a congressionally recognized Warrior Care Program, providing non-medical advocacy and assistance to wounded, ill, and injured Special Operations Forces (SOF) service members and their families.  The Care Coalition was founded as a USSOCOM Commander's program under General (Ret.) Doug Brown in 2003.</span></span></p>

   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6"><span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"><strong class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">Why does USSOCOM need the Care Coalition?</strong></span></span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•USSOCOM cannot afford a conventional attrition rate because of the required  investment of time and resources in the production of SOF.  This is  expressed in the long-standing SOF truths: humans are more important  than hardware and SOF cannot be mass produced. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•The Care Coalition was founded in 2005 by Gen. Brown to fill the gaps in the non-clinical care for SOF wounded, ill, and injured. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•The welfare of our service members and their families is paramount to SOF readiness and our ability to accomplish the mission. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•We have fostered relationships with outside sources (non-profits, private  companies) to bridge gaps in care and services provided to our SOF wounded, ill, and injured. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•Our RCCs have the trust of the recovering Service Members and their  families, and maintain contact to ensure they are receiving optimal  care.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6"><span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6"><strong>How is the Care Coalition different from the Service Wounded Warrior Programs? </strong></span></span></span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">We focus on a specialized group of wounded, ill, and injured Service embers and their families. With a smaller target population, we are able to assist SOF wounded, ill, and injured during  their recovery, rehabilitation, reintegration, and transition.  Our  primary goal is to assist SOF wounded, ill, and injured in getting back to duty, operationally fit and mentally prepared.  If the Wounded Warrior is not able to return to  active duty, we assist in the transition of the Wounded Warrior and  his/her family to civilian life.  We leverage both government, private  and community programs to support this mission.</span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">
         <strong>In what way does the Care Coalition provide advocacy to SOF Wounded, Ill, and Injured? </strong></span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">The USSOCOM Care Coalition RCCs provide SOF wounded, ill, and injured comprehensive non-medical  case management to include assistance with Department of Defense and  other government benefits, family program assistance, medical referral  management, TRICARE assistance, navigation through the IDES process,  referrals to the Department of Veterans Affairs, referrals to internal  and external Wounded Warrior programs (i.e. USSOCOM MASP, transition,  the Service Wounded Warrior Programs), and other federal and non-federal programs. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <strong class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">What transition assistance does the Care Coalition provide? </strong></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•The transition program rests on four pillars: community outreach,  fellowships, employment assistance, and retraining/educations. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•The transition team cultivates a network of civilian and government  organizations through continuous community outreach to establish a wide  net of opportunities for possible fellowship sponsorship, employment  assistance and retraining/education options for our SOF wounded, ill, and injured. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•For those in IDES, the fellowship program provides SOF wounded, ill, and injured Warriors an  opportunity to immerse themselves in the daily operations of a  sponsoring organization prior to the service members' separation from  the service.  Through fellowships, SOF wounded, ill, and injured Warriors gain familiarity with the requirement of an employment opportunity to ascertain where their  interests lie prior to making a long-term commitment.  Fellowships also  enhance their technical skills and business knowledge, while preparing  them for civilian employment. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•The employment assistance program introduces SOF wounded, ill, and injured Warriors to a network  of identified employers who have expressed an interest in hiring SOF  service members.  The participating organizations benefit from the access to talented, experienced, and dedicated candidates. </span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">•Retraining opportunities allow SOF wounded, ill, and injured Warriors to enhance their skills, train in  new career fields, or gain certification to become more marketable in  the civilian sector.  This program is mutually beneficial to the SOF wounded, ill, and injured  Warriors and the sponsoring organization in which the Wounded Warrior  conducts his or her retraining, fellowship, and/or employment.</span></span></p>

   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6"><span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6"><strong>How </strong><strong>is </strong><strong>Military Adaptive Sports </strong><strong>(MAS) </strong><strong>beneficial for USSOCOM? </strong></span></span></span></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6"> 
      <span class="ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteFontFace-6">MAS assists in both the physical and mental recovery processes, and works  to improve the overall health and welfare of SOF wounded, ill, and injured through exposure to adaptive team sport and activities.    USSOCOM MAS directly supports the  Department of Defense MAS, which includes the yearly Warrior Games and  other inter-service Wounded Warrior events.    MAS provides  post-rehabilitation support to wounded, ill, and injured SOF service  members, through participation in adaptive rehabilitation and sporting  activities, while promoting physical fitness, peer-to-peer support, and  healthy/sustainable living with a focus on returning SOF wounded, ill, and injured to duty.   All SOF, regardless of impairments, injuries, and skill levels, are  encouraged to participate. </span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Why does a </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Service Member </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">need a </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Comprehensive Recovery Plan (CRP)? </strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The recovery mission can be challenging.  A CRP helps to provide order in  chaos—it maps out goals, including whether the Service Member wants to  return to duty or transition to civilian life. The CRP ultimately sets  up Service Member and their family for success.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Are all CRPs alike? </strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">No.  Just as everyone's wounds, family circumstances, and self-perceptions  are different—everyone's CRP must be tailored for their individual  situation.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">How </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">is a CRP developed? Who helps? </strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">First and foremost the CRP is the Service Member's document. It is created  with the help of the recovery team but the goals are expressed in the  Service Member's own words. </span> 
   <br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">As early as possible in the recovery process, the RCC will conduct a  comprehensive needs assessment. The information derived from the needs  assessment becomes the foundation for the CRP. </span> 
   <br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The RCC researches and provides the best available resources to help the  Service Member and family achieve their goals. Together, the RCC and the Service Member set a timeline for completion for each step; the RCC and Section Leader track the status of each step. </span> 
   <br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The RCC works with the Service Member's Section Leader and other recovery  team members to ensure that all needs are identified and their goals do  not conflict with other recovery efforts.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Who sees a CRP? </strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">CRPs are created and updated by RCCs in a secure DoD computer system.  Section Leaders and care team members will also be aware of the Service  Member's goals to prevent conflicts with recovery efforts.  Recovery team members can request viewing rights, or the RCC will provide copies of  the CRP to members periodically.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">When </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">can a </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Service Member see </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">their CRP? Can they update it? </strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">While a Service Member cannot access the DoD computer system and CRP  directly, RCCs use the CRP routinely in discussions with the Service  Member and can provide a copy to the Service Member and family at any  time.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">

<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">RCCs do not "fire and forget."  Once a Service Member has been referred to a  service or resource, the RCC and Section Leader will follow up to ensure that the effort was fully successful.  If not, the RCC will intervene  with the resource and / or work with the Section Leader to advocate for  the Service Member.  Many of the resources available to our Service  Members come from sources external to the WCP.  As a result, it is  imperative that the RCC, Section Leader, and other recovery team members facilitate a collaborative working relationship with entities outside  the regiment to ensure effective support of our Service Members and  their families. </span></p>

<p> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) is a process used by the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs to determine if  wounded, ill, and injured service members can continue serving in the  military or if they need to be medically separated.  If service members  are found "unfit for duty," meaning they are no longer capable of  serving in the military, they are medically separated from the military.  The standard timeline of the IDES process is 295 days, but the actual  length of time varies depending on each service member's unique  circumstances.</span></p>

The Benevolent Support Section also provides an avenue for non-profits to find and vet service members and veterans that meet their mission statement.

         <strong>How do I get involved in Military Adaptive Sports?</strong> </strong></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"></span> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The first step is to contact your Recovery Care Coordinator.  Once they've referred you to Military Adaptive Sports, you'll begin to receive emails about upcoming events.  So long as your Primary Care Provider will clear you to participate in those sports, you're good to go.</span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">

      <strong>

         <strong>Can I still participate in adaptive sports?</strong></strong></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"></span>
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">ABSOLUTELY! Military adaptive sports are available to those with visible or invisible wounds, such as TBI, PTSD, or neurological issues. The most common misconception is that you must be grievously injured or sustained significant physical injuries or wounds to participate.</span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">
      <strong>

<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"></span>
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Military adaptive sports is open to those with combat and non-combat related mental and physical injuries, wounds and illnesses. Active-duty military personnel are technically on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It does not matter if you were at work or not during the time of injury or illness, or how it occurred.</span></p>

      <strong>Adaptive Sports?</strong></span></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"></span>
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Adaptive sports promote healing of both the body and mind.  Increased strength and stamina can aid rehabilitation and help you return to service or maintain a higher level of independence.  The sense of accomplishment, teamwork and camaraderie contribute to mental and emotional healing as well.</span></p>

<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The company benefits by utilizing the skills and talents of the fellow at negligible cost to the company. At the
conclusion of the fellowship the company has the opportunity to hire a skilled and fully trained employee. Even
though there is no commitment on the company’s part to offer employment, a majority of our fellows are offered
employment upon the completion of their fellowship.</span>

<br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/>
<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The Career Transition team has multiple conversations with company representatives to discuss the fellowship
job description, ideal candidate, and company culture. In addition, the WCP –CC Career Transition team initiates
a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the company and USSOCOM. Once the MOA is signed by both
parties, the WCP-CC Career Transition team sends resumes of interested Service Members who may be a good
fit. Company representatives then have the opportunity to interview the Service Member(s) before offering a
fellowship.</span><br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/><span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"> </span>

<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The MOA is a document outlining the basic parameters of the fellowship, thereby defining the intent of the

signed by the appropriate company representatives and by the USSOCOM Chief of Staff.</span><br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/><span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"> </span>

   <strong>Why is the fellowship non-paid? Can the company pay the fellow? </strong></span>
<br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/>
<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The fellowship is non-paid because the Service Member is still serving in an active duty capacity in the military
and is receiving active duty pay during the period of the fellowship. Service Members are not permitted to receive
pay from an outside organization during a fellowship/internship.</span>

   <strong>How should the company utilize the fellow within the organization? </strong></span>
<br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/>
<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The intent of a fellowship opportunity is to tailor it to each individual fellow based on their skills and interests. We
recommend, if possible, the fellow be exposed to various departments, jobs, and responsibilities within the
company. Although job shadowing can be beneficial to the fellow, we prefer that the fellow get as much handson
experience as feasible. The fellow is not permitted to participate in government sales, government contract
writing or bidding, and can not be used to fulfill a government contract requirement. Additionally, we have found it
beneficial when the company connects the fellow with a mentor, preferably a veteran, within the organization.</span>

   <strong>Who has authority over the fellow? </strong></span>
<br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/>
<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Since the fellow is still on active duty, their military chain of command is responsible for them. However, because
their military commander has given them permission to participate in the fellowship, they also report to the
supervisor assigned to them by the hosting company/organization. The fellow is expected to stay in continuous
contact with their military commander, their fellowship supervisor, and the WCP-CC.</span>

   <strong>What are the hours of the fellowship? </strong></span>
<br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/>
<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Fellowships may be full-time or part-time. The fellowship hours will be determined by the Service Member and
their supervisor at the hosting company based upon the service member’s availability and any requirements they
may need to fulfill for their medical and service-connected appointments.</span>

   <strong>Will the fellow need special accommodations for a disability? </strong></span>
<br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/>
<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Most WCP-CC fellows require no or minimal special accommodations. If a potential fellow has any limitation that
could affect their work, or if they need any special accommodations, the Service Member will discuss these
needs with the company prior to the fellowship.</span>

   <strong>What if the fellowship is not working out? Can the company terminate the fellowship? </strong></span>
<br class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"/>
<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">We put considerable effort into recommending the appropriate individual for each fellowship opportunity and we
encourage the hosting organizations to invest in interviewing and finding the right placement for the fellow. In the
rare and unlikely event that the fellow does not work out for the hosting organization the company can terminate
the fellowship. Similarly, if the fellowship is not meeting the fellow’s expectations and needs, the fellow is able to
end the fellowship. We request that, in the event the fellowship is not working as the company anticipated, they
reach out to the WCP-CC to discuss their concerns.</span>

<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"> You must be unable to do substantial work because of your medical  condition(s) and your medical condition(s) must have lasted, or be  expected to last, at least one year or result in death.  Social Security does not give money to people with partial disability or short-term  disability.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Does TSGLI cover injuries that I incurred off duty?</strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Yes.  TSGLI provides insurance coverage for injuries incurred off duty, regardless of the geographical location in which the injury occurred,  considering all TSGLI eligibility requirements are met.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">How </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">long will it take for the VA to start paying my disability pay?</strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"> The time it takes to process disability pay varies on a case-by-case  basis. Within the Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES),  Service Members are given a proposed VA rating, which is considered a  'draft' with no official standing until they are medically retired.   Following medical retirement, his/her case is given final consideration  for a rating, and the processing time can vary based on the complexity  of the case.  For Service Members that separated from the military  without having gone through a medical evaluation board (MEB), their  claims cannot be submitted until they are truly a Veteran.  This  processing time can also vary based on the complexity of the case.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">Should </strong> 
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">I get an attorney to help with my VA claim?</strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"> In most cases, it is not necessary to get assistance from an attorney.   However, many Veterans choose to get free assistance from organizations  such as the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), Veterans of Foreign Wars  (VFV), and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.  These organizations  will typically ask you to sign a limited power of attorney, which will  allow them to speak with the VA on your behalf.  They can help you  determine status, ask the VA to reconsider the severity of your rated  ailments, and help you with other support actions.  For more information  regarding these organizations and their advocacy services, please visit  their website.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">When can I appeal or re-open my VA claim for a higher rating?</strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3"> You can appeal or re-open your VA claim after you are discharged from  the military/Guard/Reserve; preferably within one year of your discharge date.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">When will my COAD/COAR be completed?</strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> C<span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">ontinuation of Active Duty (COAD)/Continuation on Active Reserve  (COAR) will be completed by the time you receive your final DA Form 199.</span></p>

   <strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">How long will I receive Special Compensation for Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (SCAADL), now that my spouse is taking care of me?</strong><strong class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">  </strong></p> 
<p style="text-align: left;"> 
   <span class="ms-rteFontFace-6 ms-rteFontSize-3">The SCAADL allowance may continue for up to 90 days after your medical  retirement date. This allows time for the VA Caregiver program to go  through its stages of the approval process.  If and when the VA Caregiver pay starts, SCAADL will end. </span></p>
