Afghan Recruits

Marines from 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, Marine Forces Reserve, train on range at Alverez de Sotomayor in Almeria, Spain on October 27, 2015. The Marines are training to improve their skills during exercise Trident Juncture and to increase interoperability with NATO allied forces.

Command Sergeant Major Brian Hester, U.S. Army Central’s Senior Enlisted Advisor, and leaders from USARCENT discuss the Army People Strategy. The Army People Strategy describes how we will shift from simply “distributing personnel” to more deliberately managing the talents of our Soldiers and Civilians. This means creating a 21st century talent management system with policies, programs, and processes that recognize and capitalize the unique knowledge, skills, and behaviors possessed by every member of the Army team, allowing us to employ each to maximum effect.
