The army is where people go to if they want to protect their country and their family so they could have a normal life. The army is the best way to help protect where you live, and it is an honor to help make the country safer. The soldiers everyday train so they could be ready for their missions. The soldiers get up early and train so hard to get in shape to become well-trained soldiers so they could protect the place that they grew up in and love. When the soldiers come back from their missions they get injured physically or mentally like the common symptom is PTSD. In the article it says that there is a Warrior Transition Unit program is for specialized military co‐ located with major military treatment facilities providing a Triad of Care involving primary care physicians, case managers, and military leadership to soldiers needing comprehensive medical care and warrior transition Unit program describes the rationale and methods for studying behavioral health care in Warrior Transition Unit program and characterize soldiers assigned to Warrior Transition Unit program. They track and test U.S. Department of Defense Military Health System to look into the behavioral health problems and the service utilization form the soldiers that were assigned to Warrior transition Unit program after when they return from Afghanistan and Iraq deployments, FY2008–2015. In the article they research that WTU members (N = 31,094) comprised 3.5% of the AWCP cohort (N = 883,091). Almost all (96.5%) had one WTU assignment for a median of 327 days; 77.3% were assigned before deployment ended, ≤30 or >365 days post‐deployment; 59.4% had deployment‐related behavioral health diagnoses. Their conclusion for this is that they know there is an overwhelming amount of soldiers that had one assignment for almost a year. A substantial proportion of WTU soldiers use to have psychological impairment because of that this limited the amount of military duties. The article quotes that AWCP is the first study of redeployed soldiers assigned to the Warrior Transition Unit program and provides a unique opportunity to advance our understanding of behavioral health among soldiers needing comprehensive medical care after combat deployments. My opinion it is good that they have Warrior transition Unit program so they could have comprehensive medical care. We need to help the soldiers because they give up so much and risk their lives. When the soldiers are on the field, they see so much terrible things like, dead friends, killing people, body parts and more. When some soldiers come back from deployment they deal with problems like mental health or physical injuries and more.  The authors are good at showing us the problems and trying to solve it and understand it. The authors explain the article very well and give you evidence that what they are writing about is true. The style of how they are writing is easy to understand and shows us what the authors want us to know.
