U.S. Army Recruiting Command

Fort Jackson has been molding U.S. Army Soldiers since 1917.

Since the days of World War I, millions of men and woman have stepped off the bus in South Carolina to face the ultimate test of character.

Obstacle courses have evolved, bayonets have been removed, tactics have modernized but the standard demanded has never wavered. To the brave who have earned their patch at Fort Jackson, you built the legacy. To the trainees currently on the ground, you are the future force.

last week Lt. Gen. Johnny Davis hosted the U.S. Army Twilight Tattoo on behalf of the U.S. Army Recruiting Command.

The elite Soldiers of the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), The United States Army Drill Team, and The United States Army Band Pershing’s Own put on quite a show for an audience at Summerall Field at Fort Myer, Virginia.

Displaying vignettes from 251 years of U.S. Army history, the incredible precision, discipline and energy on display showed exactly what it means to wear the uniform.

For 251 years, U.S. Army recruiters have searched far and wide to build the Nation’s force. The strategy has always been simple, meet the talent where they are.

Whether it’s a mobile recruiting station in 1918, a television commercial from the 1980s or a digital ad we use today, our Soldiers have been there to educate the public on the benefits of joining something greater than themselves.

What started as “rendezvous” stations in New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia has morphed into 1,000 U.S. Army recruiting stations across the globe!

Army recruiters are the gatekeepers of the Force Generation Pipeline and the primary stewards of the Army’s future.

Do you remember the name of your recruiter?

At USAREC, we recognize that the character, resilience, and discipline required of U.S. Army Soldiers is first cultivated at home. Today, we highlight the vital role Families and mentors play in shaping the next generation of American leaders.

The trust they place in our recruiters, training centers and officer-producing programs is the foundation upon which we build the future force.

When a veteran stands alongside their newly enlisted child, this represents the ultimate validation of our institutional standards and the continuity of the All-Volunteer-Force.

Thank you to those across our enterprise who continue to model professional excellence and inspire leaders of tomorrow.

161 years ago, Union Soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas with General Order Number Three, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation and declaring all Americans free.

Today marks a profound turning point in American history, recognizing equality, resilience and bravery fought in American conflicts. This legacy continues to shape the U.S. Army.

At USAREC, we are committed to building an Army that draws strengths and talents from all the Soldiers we serve alongside. The unwavering standard of the Army Values ensure we forge a force ready for the future.

Overseeing the Army’s Force Generation Pipeline is a massive, high-stakes mission, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our Soldiers, Civilians and Families! Org Day is our chance to say thank you to the spouses, children and loved ones who serve right alongside our workforce.

With great food and time spent outdoors, the esprit de corps was on full display!

Thank you to everyone who came out to spend time. The momentum of this command is fueled by you!

“I have, this day, voluntarily enlisted myself, as a Soldier, in the American Continental Army, for one year, unless sooner discharged: And I do bind myself to conform, in all instances, to such rules and regulations, as are, or shall be, established for the government of the said Army.” June 14, 1775

The Oath of Enlistment may have changed as our Nation has grown into what she is today, but the meaning remains the same: protect and defend.

Every Soldier that has served in the U.S. Army started their journey with their right hand raised.
