Overview

The Department of Defense (DoD) is sponsoring Operation Warfighter, an internship program for wounded, ill, and injured service members who are convalescing at military treatment facilities across the United States.

Operation Warfighter is designed to provide recuperating service members with meaningful activity outside of the hospital environment that assists in their wellness and offers a formal means of transition back to the civilian workforce.

Open to Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve components, Operation Warfighter represents a great opportunity for service members in a medical hold status to build their resumes, explore employment interests, develop job skills, and gain valuable federal government work experience that will prepare them for the future. The program simultaneously enables participating federal agencies to avail themselves of the considerable talent and dedication of these recuperating service members.
