August 14, 2007 5:13 PM
The Army is trying out a new way of taking care of wounded soldiers.It comes in the wake of the scandal earlier this year at Walter Reed Army hospital, where soldiers were found languishing in substandard housing and mired in paperwork and mismanagement that made it difficult for them to get the care they needed. Now, returning soldiers are being assigned to what are being called "Warrior Transition Units."
SLIDESHOW: Spc. Crystal Witte is a soldier in Ft. Carson's Warrior Transition Unit. Col. Kelly Wolgast is the commander of Evans Hospital at Ft. Carson. Col. John Hort commands Ft. Carson's 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team.
