The USMC Wounded Warrior Regiment (WWR) stood up in April 2007 and immediately began to assume responsibilities for non-medical wounded warrior care. The mission of the WWR is to provide and facilitate assistance to wounded, ill and injured Marines, and their family members, throughout the phases of recovery.

In the aftermath of a wound, illness, or injury, a Marine may require assistance with identifying the resources available to support them through their recovery. To help the Marine navigate from recovery to reintegration, WWR works to surround them with a specialized care team. These individuals are part of the first line of offense, helping the Marine and their family navigate their recovery mission.

The District Injured Support Coordinators (DISCs) are an integral part of the Wounded Warrior Regiment’s (WWR) support structure. DISCs are the WWR Commanding Officer’s representatives in the civilian community. They are located throughout the country to help wounded, ill or injured Marines transition from Active Duty or Reserves to Veteran status. They provide support and problem resolution, including non-medical care management.

The regional DISCs work closely with FMF to help identify Marines in need of the support provided by our FOCUS program.

If you know of a Marine who needs help, please contact the WWR representative Sergeant Merlin German at the Wounded Warrior Regiment Call Center at (877)487-6299.
