Subject to the availability of amounts appropriated for this specific purpose, the department shall establish an internship program for returning wounded combat veterans.

The jobs may include, but are not limited to, the following classifications:
Engineering; construction trades; logistics; and project planning. The emphasis of the program should be to assist veterans who served in southern or central Asia, Operation Enduring Freedom; and the Persian Gulf, Operation Iraqi Freedom.
