The Army continues to look for ways to put the right talent in the right places across the force, all while focusing on improving quality of life for soldiers and their families, a top general said.
“We are absolutely trying to put talent where it needs to be used and actually allow it to grow,” Gen. Paul Funk, commanding general of Army Training and Doctrine Command, said May 6 during a virtual discussion hosted by the Center for a New American Security.
This includes keeping soldiers at the same duty station for longer periods of time and reducing permanent change-of-station moves. One of the proposals under consideration would have soldiers stay in the same place for up to seven years, Funk said.
