The Army Image: In Need of Change

Abstract

This paper will examine the Army image as it relates to the American public, the recruitment eligible population and to soldiers. It will define what an image is and how the three different groups interpret today's Army image. It will trace the changes in the Army's image from the end of the Vietnam War until the late 1990s, compare the Army's image with the other services and analyze the reasons for that type of image. Lastly, it will determine if the Army's image needs improving. If the answer is yes, it will recommend ways to improve the Army's image.
