USAREC'S (United States Army Recruiting Command) Image to the Officer Corps Good, Bad, or Irrelevant? A Prescription for Change.

Abstract

Since the disappearance of the draft in 1973, the US Army had had to rely on 'volunteers' to fill its ranks. The responsibility for the important task of manning the force -- perhaps the Army's 1 priority -- has rested with the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC). Because of its demonstrated record of success in recent years, one may argue that USAREC has fully matured, and now ranks as the most successful command in the Army. Yet, it is a successful command to which few members of the Officer Corps aspire to serve.
