Who is eligible for assignment to a WTU?
A Commander, in coordination with the Military Treatment Facility Commander, can assign/attach a Soldier to the WTU when they meet the following criteria: Active Duty Soldiers: • Who have complex care issues that require care longer than 6 months duration, and (a) whose duty limitations preclude the Soldier from contributing to the unit’s mission, (b) Or whose treatment plan requires the Soldier to spend most of his/her time receiving (and/or traveling to and from) medical treatment • Who require an MEB (and therefore requires a permanent profile) and whose duty limitations preclude the SM from contributing to the parent unit’s mission.
