FORT EUSTIS, Va. –
Major Gen. M. Ted Wong, U.S. Army Northern Regional Medical Command commander, addressed concerns of wounded, ill and injured Soldiers during a visit to Virginia Beach, Jan. 16.
The open-floor discussion took place at Virginia Beach's Law Enforcement Training Academy, where Wong met with Soldiers and leadership from Community Based Warrior Transition Unit-Virginia.
Wong opened the floor for the Soldiers for more than an hour, allowing the Service members an opportunity to address their concerns with officials and other senior leaders.
Wong discussed the quality of care Soldiers are entitled to receive, challenges they may face during rehabilitation and each phase of support while emphasizing his commitment to supporting Soldiers.
"Your mission is to heal and transition; our job is to help you with that process," Wong said. "If we're doing something wrong or doing something that doesn't work for you, we want to know so we can fix the problem. If we're doing something right, we want to know that as well to keep programs in place and strive to make them better."
The general discussed various support programs that are available to assist the Soldiers while in the unit. Although he allowed the attendees to discuss issues with the program, he also reminded them of their duties as a Soldier.
"One team, one fight," Wong said. "Even though you're [part of the CBWTU], you're still Soldiers."
