As the Army moves to reduce the number of wounded and ill soldiers admitted into its new coordinated care units, officials expect to be able to shut down or merge some of the centers.

Those Warrior Transition Units under review for possible closure or consolidation generally have a small number of patients or are close enough to another unit that they can be combined. They include:

_Redstone Arsenal, Alabama

_Fort Rucker in Alabama

_West Point in New York

_Fort Eustis in Virginia (may be merged with Fort Lee in Virginia)

_Fort Huachuca in Arizona

_Fort Irwin in California

_Fort Jackson in South Carolina

_Fort Leavenworth in Kansas

_Fort Meade in Maryland

_Fort Dix in New Jersey
