Army Wounded Warrior Education Initiative Creates Opportunities to Continue Serving

he first class of the Army Wounded Warrior Education Initiative (AW2EI) started in the fall of 2008 with seven participants, four civilian and three who are still in the Army. Each pursued a Masters degree at the University of Kansas (KU), four in history, two in political science, and one in social work. All of the first year’s participants will graduate this year and begin their new career. They will return to serve the Army and combine their operational experience with the Teducation they received at the University of Kansas. Each of these Soldiers’ careers has a new life and they have a new opportunity to continue to serve the nation.

U.S. ground forces would support the operation from within South Vietnam and would pave the way for the South Vietnamese troops to the border (in an operation dubbed DEWEY CANYON II); U.S. air support would be provided for the South Vietnamese forces once they entered Laos. The attack into Laos began on Feb. 8, 1971. South Vietnamese heliborne forces established a series of fire sup- port bases north and south of Highway 9 to support the main effort, which was a ground attack along Highway 9 toward Tchepone. The operation, dubbed LAM SON 719, went very well for the first few days, but the movement along the high- way became bogged down. Meanwhile, the NVA rushed reinforcements to the battle and the South Vietnamese forces found themselves under heavy attack. U.S. airpower wreaked havoc on the North Vietnamese troops, but the South Vietnamese never regained the momen- tum of the attack and ultimately began to withdraw back into South Vietnam under heavy enemy pressure after a token airmobile assault on Tchepone.
