A 30-bed ward, consisting of four-bedded rooms or single rooms, will benefit from having areas for physiotherapy, fitness and relaxing. Unlike current facilities, it will also have an exclusive communal area for relatives.
The ward will be part of a new hospital in Birmingham opening in 2010 to replace five city hospitals including Selly Oak, where the RCDM is based.
During a visit to the site, the Defence Under Secretary, Derek Twigg, said the new ward would be a "magnificent addition".
Treatment of injured soldiers has been mired on controversy in recent times over mixed cilivian-military wards and allegations of overcrowding and injured personnel catching MRSA.
One soldier described waking up to find himself surrounded by "old women and drug addicts", while a Para was allegedly confronted by a Muslim man who accused him of "killing my Muslim brothers".
The criticism led to the Government beefing up staff on the ward and making it more exclusively military.
The new hospital will be home to the largest single-floor critical care unit in the world with 100 beds and injured soldiers will still be treated in specialist, civilian wards until their injuries are deemed sufficient to move them to the military ward, which will specialise in trauma and orthopaedics.
The new ward was broadly welcomed by military support groups although the Government was warned not to become complacent just because it was a new facility.
Col Doug Young of the Armed Forces Federation said: "We will study the details with great interest. It is essential that everything has got to be in place for the welfare of patients and their families."
A spokesman for the Royal British Legion said: "The high standard must be maintained and complacency must not be allowed to set in, to ensure all injured personnel continue to receive the best possible medical treatment and care in the future."
