Military Human Resources Professionals for the Transforming Army

Abstract

The field of human resources (HR) management is experiencing historic change in both the military and corporate environments of the 21st century. As American society advances at record pace with technological explosion, Army Transformation and its implications challenge our human resources and personnel communities to better support the human dimension of soldiering. The future requires a corps of senior Army HR professionals who can design, operate, and contribute to a holistic approach to human resources management. Change in the future Army HR landscape calls for change to the Army's OPMS XXI life cycle development model for senior HR officers. A corps of field grade HR officers, merged from two career fields that exist today, is needed for the Army of tomorrow to support the Army's most precious resource - its people. The purpose of this paper is to propose career development and utilization of senior Army HR professionals (major-colonel) in the transforming Army.
