US Army Recruiting Command elevated to 3-star level headquarters within T2COM

The U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) is set to become the primary force generation authority for the Army, overseeing the full journey from civilian applicants to trained soldiers. The command will manage all aspects of recruitment, starting from the initial outreach materials to the completion of basic training.

According to a military statement, From first contact in an advertisement through entry-level training, USAREC converts civilian candidates into U.S. Army warriors.

As part of a broad modernization initiative, USAREC will now report to the Transformation and Training Command (T2COM). T2COM was created earlier this year following the Army Transformation Initiative announced by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, which focuses on streamlining the Armys force structure.

The Center for Initial Military Training, previously under the Army Training and Doctrine Command (which was deactivated this year), will now operate under USAREC. Additionally, USAREC will oversee the Army Recruiting Division, Cadet Command, and the Army Enterprise and Marketing Office.

The three-star level headquarters will be officially established during a ceremony at Waybur Theater, Fort Knox, on Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. EST. The event will be available via livestream.
