Human Resources Command Dedicated to Serving Soldiers

Abstract

The U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) provides the full spectrum of human resources services to Soldiers, Veterans, Retirees, and Army Families. HRC is the largest human resources organization in the world; responsible for managing Soldiers' careers from the day they enter Basic Training until retirement and beyond. HRC was formed on 1 October 2003, by merging the personnel assets of the U.S. Total Army Personnel Command and the U.S. Army Reserve Personnel Command. In 2005, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission recommended the creation of the Human Resources Center of Excellence at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and directed HRC elements in Alexandria, Va.; Indianapolis, Ind.; and Saint Louis, Mo.; to move to the new facility no later than 15 Sept. 2011. The bulk of HRC activities relocated to Fort Knox over the summer of 2010; the move is now complete. The HRC mission is to execute career management, sustainment, distribution, and transition of personnel to optimize Army personnel readiness, enable leader development, and strengthen an agile and versatile Army that can prevent, shape, and win. HRC prides itself on its dedicated workforce, comprised of both active and reserve military and civilian members. Within the Enlisted Personnel Management Directorate (EMPD) is the Operations Support Division, which consists of five Career Management Fields: 25-Signal Corps, 35-Military Intelligence, 31-Military Police, 12-Engineer, and 74-Chemical. The author is currently serving as Chief, Enlisted Signal Branch, HRC. This article describes the following Soldier Support Programs and each program's requirements: Married Army Couples Program (MACP), Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP), the High School Stabilization Program, the Compassionate Reassignment Program, and the Home Base and Advance Assignment Program (HAAP).
