Warrior Games, an annual Paralympic-style competition for wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans held at Colorado Springs.

This year the event will take place from May 11-17, utilising venues at the US Olympic Training Centre and U.S. Air Force Academy.

"Volunteers are being sought to assist with venue management, officiating, score keeping, medal ceremonies, stocking hydration stations, among many other responsibilities," said a US Paralympic statement.

"The competition, which assists in the rehabilitation of wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans into their communities through sport, will feature approximately 260 athletes from all of the branches of the US Armed Forces, as well as a team from the United Kingdom."

Historically, the volunteer positions have been very popular for this event so a position cannot be guaranteed to everyone who registers.

Those who are selected will be notified by April 15, 2013.
