Dailey: Army Must Reduce ‘Nondeployables’
Feb. 14, 2017
A major obstacle to improving Army readiness is the inability of units to have everyone on their rosters ready to deploy together, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel Dailey says.
A large part of that problem is simply that so many soldiers are detailed to myriad other missions at any given time as end strength has steadily declined in recent years, Dailey said Feb. 14 at a breakfast forum hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army’s Institute of Land Warfare.
Another issue is that many soldiers are rated as nondeployable for various administrative and medical reasons, he said. “I still believe we have a completely unacceptable nondeployable rate across the Army, averaging about 14 percent,” Dailey said. “Much of that can be remedied just by getting soldiers to their appointments.”
