The Army Needs Hundreds of Officers to Leave Combat Arms

The Army is seeking 300 lieutenants from oversaturated combat arms fields to voluntarily transfer into understaffed roles.

Lieutenants currently branched in armor, infantry, combat engineer and field artillery can apply between Jan. 7 and Feb. 17 to transfer to adjutant general, air defense, finance, logistics and signal corps, the service announced in November.
 
Additionally, the service is also looking to fill in space operations, public affairs, simulations operations and information technology fields.
 

"Maybe they're looking for company command time but in a branch with a long wait queue, or they didn't get their initial branch of choice upon commissioning. This is a retention tool for those who want to stay and serve rather than to separate and seek opportunities elsewhere," Maj. Jesse Lansford, who analyzes personnel placement for Army Human Resources Command, said in a news release, adding that no officers will see forced reassignments.

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

Only officers of non-color, I'm sure. :headbang:
