Criteria 1. Deployed: Contingency Operations. Contingency operation means a military
operation that: (A) is designated by the Secretary of Defense as an operation in which members
of the armed forces are or may become involved in: military actions, operations, or hostilities
against an enemy of the United States or against an opposing military force; or (B) results in the
call or order to, or retention on, active duty of members of the uniformed services under
section 688, 12301 (a), 12302, 12304, 12304a, 12305, or 12406 of this title, chapter 15 of this
title, section 712 of title 14, or any other provision of law during a war or during a national
emergency declared by the President or Congress.
Criteria 2. Assigned to Warrior Transition Unit (WTU). WTUs provide critical support to
Regular Army Soldiers who are expected to require 6 months or more of rehabilitation
care and complex medical management in an inpatient or outpatient status and to
Reserve component Soldiers who are in need of definitive health care based on medical
conditions identified, incurred or aggravated while in an active duty status, in support of
Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) and non-OCO activity.
Army Wounded Warrior (AW2). These Soldiers are classified as severely wounded, ill or
injured Service Members (SM). These are category three (3) individuals (amputation,
severe TBI/PTSD, limited life expectancy, etc.) as prescribed in DODI 1300.24. (AW2 status is
NOT the defining criteria for eligibility of deployment child care support. AW2 Soldiers
MUST be currently assigned to a WTU to be eligible).
Non-Medical Attendant (NMA). A person selected by an eligible Soldier, and approved
by the Soldier's attending physician and the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF)
commander, who will contribute to the healing and recovery of the Soldier. This
individual is placed on military orders which provide certain benefits to the individual.
The NMA program is designed for seriously wounded, ill and injured Soldiers who could
benefit from the presence and assistance of family or friends. If the Soldier’s primary care
manager (PCM) determines that the Soldier is eligible for NMA assistance, then one person,
designated by the Soldier, is authorized to serve as a NMA. This person provides additional
support as the Soldier recovers, rehabilitates and transitions.
