Warrior Games

Warrior Games Welcome to the official Warrior Games page, where you’ll find coverage on the adaptive sporting event for wounded, ill, and injured service members.

The Department of Defense Warrior Games is an annual event, first held in 2010, that celebrates the resiliency and dedication of wounded, ill, and injured active duty and veteran U.S. military service members. Hundreds of elite athletes, including those from international allied nations, compete in adaptive sporting events such as wheelchair basketball, cycling, indoor rowing, and wheelchair rugby, among others. The DoD Warrior Games serve as a way to enhance the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded warriors by providing them exposure to adaptive sports. Participation in the Warrior Games represents the culmination of a service member’s involvement in an adaptive sports program and demonstrates the incredible potential of wounded warriors through competitive sports.

Warrior Wednesday💪
After surviving a gunshot wound and undergoing an amputation, Staff Sergeant Sturges with Team Marine Corps faced a new road forward. His journey to the Warrior Games is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t about going back to who you were. It’s about discovering who you can become.

“I’m happy to be alive. I’m in a fun state of life,” he said. “The Navy prepares you to mitigate fear, uncertainty, and nerves. Playing on the pool deck permitted me to succeed.”

After losing his eyesight in Afghanistan in 2011, Brad Snyder turned to adaptive sports as part of his journey forward.

As a Warrior Games competitor in 2012, he won 4 medals in swimming. He moved to the Paralympic stage, where he has won gold at three consecutive Paralympic Games, showing the power of finding purpose and embracing possibility.

A Warrior Games alum who continues to inspire us on the pool deck and far beyond it. 🇺🇸

Warrior Wednesday 💪

In 2017, while deployed in Italy, Gregory Walker began experiencing issues with his leg. After returning stateside, an MRI revealed a cancerous tumor in his foot, leading to chemotherapy and the amputation of his leg in November 2019.

He has competed in wheelchair rugby for Team Air Force in the 2023 Warrior Games, and also competed for Team U.S. at the 2023 Invictus Games in rowing, wheelchair basketball, and track and field. He continues to move forward in a positive way, spending time at the Adaptive Training Facility in Dallas, TX, where he is training to become a Paralympic sprinter.

Today he is being honored by Building Homes for Heroes at their Welcome Home Celebration in Fate, TX surrounded by friends, family, and supporters.
