MRPU

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Medical Readiness Processing Unit (MRPU) is a former entity within the United States Army.

The MRPU was a battalion level entity designated for National Guard and Reserve Component soldiers who were injured or developed severe illnesses while on active duty. The primary duty of the MRPU was to insure that soldiers assigned receive the proper medical care and were restored to full duty status before returning to their respective National Guard or Reserve Component stations.

The MRPU has now been replaced by the WTU, or, the Warrior in Transition Unit. All units or companies that previously were known as MRPU, Med Hold or Med Holdover are renamed WTU. In the case of a brigade size unit they are known at WTB.
