The Defence Recovery Capability The Defence recovery Capability is a MOD-owned capability designed to deliver programmed, command-led and coordinated support to wounded, injured and sick serving personnel. It is delivered through single Service (sS) Recovery Pathways, drawing on the resources of sS led Personnel Recovery organisations, including the Naval Service Recovery Centre (NSRC), Personnel Recovery Units (PRU), Personnel Recovery Centres (PRCs), and the Battle Back Centre (BBC). The Recovery Pathways are aligned with clinical treatment and rehabilitation, but do not deliver mental or physical treatment or rehabilitation.

Recovery activity under the Defence Recovery Capability ensures that wounded, injured and sick personnel have access to all the key services and resources needed to help them either return to duty or make a smooth transition to an appropriately skilled civilian life. This care is delivered across the defence community by the combined efforts of the Services and the Service charities responding to carefully tailored individual recovery plans setting out a recovery pathway.
