Supporting Patients at Landstuhl Hospital in Germany

Soldiers' Angels Germany is a group of volunteers in Germany who support wounded and ill soldiers being treated at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center facilities. Injured and ill soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria are normally extracted to a U.S. Army Combat Support Hospital at a forward field operating base. If needed, the patients are then transported to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. Other patients received are troops injured during training exercises in Eastern European countries. From Germany, most transfer on to the U.S. after several days, but some are able to return to duty.
