WASHINGTON (AP) — Britain's Prince Harry is joining forces with Michelle Obama and Jill Biden.

The White House says the trio will visit Fort Belvoir, Va., on Wednesday to meet wounded military members in recovery and rehabilitation programs.

They'll also tour a USO center that supports wounded or ill service members, their families and caregivers. In addition, they'll watch a sports event similar to those featured in the prince's Invictus Games.

Harry will be in the U.S. for one day to promote the sporting event for wounded service personnel. The 2016 Invictus Games are slated for Orlando in May.

Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Jill, led a delegation to the inaugural Invictus Games in London last year as part of the Joining Forces military initiative she leads with Mrs. Obama.

Harry visited the White House in 2013. Mrs. Obama and her two teen daughters had tea with Harry at Kensington Palace in June during the first lady's visit to London.
