Monday, June 17, 2019
The Army’s efforts to reduce the number of nondeployable soldiers have resulted in increased readiness in its brigade combat teams, said Lt. Gen. Thomas Seamands, the deputy chief of staff for personnel.
“About 18 months ago, about 10 [BCTs] were at the highest levels of personnel readiness. Now it’s 25 or 26,†he said.
Eighteen months ago, 15% to 16% of soldiers were considered nondeployable, he said.
