U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who spent five years as a Taliban prisoner of war before being released on May 31, left a U.S. military hospital in Germany on Thursday and headed to San Antonio for further treatment, the Pentagon said.
Rear Adm. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said Bergdahl left Ramstein Air Base in Germany aboard a military plane Thursday afternoon and was due to arrive early Friday in San Antonio, where he will receive additional care at the Brooke Army Medical Center.
"Our first priority is making sure that Sgt. Bergdahl continues to get the care and support he needs," Kirby said in a statement.
