The Army Recovery Care Program (ARCP) transitions Soldiers back to the force and/or to Veteran status, through a comprehensive program of recovery care coordination (RCC), medical care management, rehabilitation, adaptative reconditioning, career and education readiness, professional development and achievement of personal goals.

ARCP provides policy and program oversight to the 5 Soldier Recovery Units (SRU) and) located on military installations across the country. SRUs manage the recovery of wounded, ill and injured (WII) Soldiers requiring complex care. DCUs manage the recovery of primarily COMPO 2 and 3 WII that do not require complex care. The program also provides resources and advocacy for families and caregivers of Soldiers recovering in the program. More than 91,900 Soldiers have received ARCP services since its inception in 2007.

Army National Guard Soldiers (COMPO 2) who are on drill status may be eligible for ARCP. Soldiers may submit SRU entry packets for COMPO 2 if they are not demobilizing through a Mobilization Force Generation Installation (MFGI). When an entry packet is determined to meet complexity, the given COMPO 2 Soldier can enter an SRU .

Army National Guard Soldiers (COMPO 2) not in Active Guard Reserve status who do not meet eligibility criteria will be managed remotely using the Reserve Component Managed Care (RCMC) program (COMPO 2) and the Remote Medical Management (RMM) (COMPO 2).
