The Center for the Intrepid is a rehabilitation facility to treat amputees and burn victims.

Veterans from previous conflicts are also eligible to receive treatment as well as other military personnel who have sustained injuries in other operations, training exercises, or in non-combat situations.

It provides training to help disabled servicemen use prosthetics, perform everyday tasks, and reintegrate with society.

Guests attending the ceremony included United States Senators John McCain and Hillary Clinton.

The structure was financed entirely by private donations through the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
