无畏中心（CFI）是组成武装部队截肢者护理计划的三个截肢者护理中心中的一个独特设施。CFI的使命有三个方面：（1）为严重战争伤员提供尽可能好的病人护理，（2）教育提供者最先进的严重伤员康复方法，（3）进行研究，以改善这些战争伤员的护理。该中心的计划基于三个关键因素：（1）将类似受伤的患者集中为一个队列，（2）多学科的患者护理方法，以及（3）集中亚专业技能，确保在机构层面提供最佳护理。该中心的积极培训计划使来自军事社区医院的专业和辅助人员受益，这些人员随后可能会在该中心的病人重返工作岗位或退休时对其进行治疗。该中心的研究可能最终推广到不同年龄和病因的截肢者，目标是让这些患者恢复生产力，充实的生活。
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.
