The Center for the Intrepid (CFI) is a unique facility among the three amputee care centers that comprise the Armed Forces Amputee Care Program. The mission of the CFI is threefold: (1) to provide the best possible patient care to the severely war-wounded, (2) to educate providers in the most advanced methods of rehabilitation for the severely wounded, and (3) to perform research to improve the care of these war-wounded patients. The center's program is based on three critical factors: (1) concentration of similarly injured patients as a cohort, (2) a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, and (3) the concentration of subspecialty skills that ensures the best possible care at an institutional level. The center's active training program benefits professional and ancillary personnel from military community hospitals that may subsequently treat the center's patients as they transition back to duty or retirement. The center's research may ultimately be generalized to amputees of various ages and etiologies, with the goal of returning these patients to productive, fulfilling lives.
无畏中心（CFI）是构成武装部队截肢者护理计划的三个截肢者护理中心中独一无二的机构。CFI的使命有三个方面：（1）为重伤员提供尽可能最好的患者护理；（2）向医疗服务人员传授针对重伤员的最先进康复方法；（3）开展研究以改善对这些战争伤员的护理。该中心的项目基于三个关键因素：（1）将伤势相似的患者集中作为一个队列；（2）采用多学科方法进行患者护理；（3）集中亚专业技能以确保在机构层面提供尽可能最好的护理。该中心积极的培训项目使军事社区医院的专业人员和辅助人员受益，这些人员随后可能会在中心的患者重返工作岗位或退休时对其进行治疗。该中心的研究最终可能推广到不同年龄和病因的截肢者，目标是让这些患者回归充实且有意义的生活。
