Mission

 

The objective of the Army Retention Program is to sustain the Army's end strength by retaining personnel long term. Army retention maintains operational readiness and improves lethality through targeting the Army's best and brightest within critical fields to dominate near-peer adversaries with superior capabilities.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

 

Maintain Force Strength: Ensures the Army retains qualified Soldiers to meet end-strength goals and maintain readiness.

Retain Skilled Personnel: Prioritize the retention of highly skilled Soldiers, particularly in critical Military Occupational Specialties, to enhance operational capability and lethality.

Support Transitions: Facilitate the reenlistment, transfer, and assignment of Soldiers leaving the Regular Army to Reserve Component units, while adhering to geographic and strategic requirements.

Promote Career Growth: Encourage Soldiers to continue careers in the Army through guidance, resources, and opportunities for professional development.

Force Alignment: Recruit, retain, or transfer Soldiers in vital areas to achieve and sustain total force alignment across Army components.

Support Key Initiatives: Support programs such as the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Green to Gold Programs and the United States Military Academy Preparatory School, to help strengthen the Army's future leadership and readiness.
