Clarification: This article was updated to clarify the transitionary nature of the two general officer’s assignments at the new recruiting posts.
As the Army overhauls its recruiting structure, jobs and approaches to bringing in new talent, the service is injecting resources into areas that have previously been underserved — cities.
That’s one of a host of reasons that the Army Recruiting Command will soon post a one-star general in both Los Angeles, California, and Atlanta, Georgia, in the coming months.
Brig. Gen. Sara Dudley and Brig. Gen. Fred Hockett Jr. are overseeing transition teams to establish the offices in Atlanta and Los Angeles, respectively, starting in early 2025. Dudley currently serves as the deputy commanding general of operations at U.S. Army Recruiting Command, while Hockett serves as the command’s deputy commanding general for support. The two will continue in those duties as they run the transition.
