Army Unveils Occupational Fields that Need More Soldiers – and Bonuses to Get Them Filled

The Army released a new guidance Friday specifying the military occupational specialties it needs soldiers to move into when reenlisting in order to meet the branch's retention and restructuring goals for 2024.

Referred to as "precision retention," the program specifically highlights overcrowded occupational specialties, such as cavalry scouts and military police, as well as incentive bonuses and promotion opportunities if troops will consider reclassifying.

"The main difference, and our approach this time is a little bit more succinct, is that we're trying to apply a level of precision and focus on particular critical [military occupational specialities] that the Army has identified," Sgt. Maj. Jonathan Uribe-Huitron, the senior enlisted soldier overseeing personnel policy, told reporters Thursday. "[We're] still having the same process as we do any other reclassification -- that is, creating the conversations that take place between the commander, the individual soldier, and a command career counselor."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

To me, it seems like a lot of grasping at straws blowing in the wind. :pondering:
