FALLS CHURCH Va., March 14, 2024– The Army Recovery Care Program is proud to announce the members of Team Army who will compete at the 2024 Department of Defense Warrior Games in Orlando, Florida, June 21 – 30, at Walt Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Hosted by the U.S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, hundreds of warrior athletes from the United States as well as select partner nations will compete in Paralympic-style adaptive sporting events. The friendly competition creates camaraderie and showcases the athlete’s ability to recover and overcome.
Team Army is comprised of 40 wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers and veterans, whose strength and perseverance define resilience through the power of adaptive sports.
Established in 2010, The Warrior Games are a way to enhance the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded warriors and demonstrate the healing power of adaptive sports. Service members and veterans from the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and SOCOM will compete in the 2024 DoD Warrior Games.
Athletes will go head-to-head in eleven adaptive sports: archery, track, and field, indoor rowing, powerlifting, cycling, shooting, sitting volleyball, swimming, wheelchair basketball, and wheelchair rugby.
