The U.S. Army and The Walt Disney Company have joined forces 🤝🏰

This week in Burbank, California, the Army and Disney signed a historic partnership through the U.S. Army Partnership for Your Success (PaYS) program.

Managed by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, the PaYS program has been a cornerstone of Army recruitment and transition since 2000. The program has expanded over the decades to secure opportunities for enlisted Soldiers, warrant officers and commissioned officers from the active Army, Army Reserve and National Guard who enroll in the PaYS program and meet all requirements prior to their end of service.

What does this mean for Soldiers? Disney now joins over 1,400 corporations, companies, and public sector agencies who guarantee an interview to transitioning Soldiers.

We don't just train American Soldiers, we build lifelong skills Soldiers can bring to the world's most iconic brands.

There are many ways to lead a legacy with the U.S. Army.

Serving as a drill sergeant is one of them. Sgt. 1st Class Taylor Dietz was crowned the US Army Fort Sill Fires Center of Excellence 2025 Drill Sergeant of the Year and recently hung up his campaign hat during a de-hatting ceremony.

This ceremony is intended to honor the dedication and distinct service of Dietz while guiding trainees through the Force Generation Pipeline.

Next month, USAREC will identify the top Active Duty and Army Reserve drill sergeants during the 2026 Drill Sergeant of the Year Competition at Fort Jackson. The torch is passing, who will pick it up?

Unleash your potential.

Military working dogs are essential to accomplishing our mission, and serving as a military working dog handler or an animal care specialist takes trained professionals to lead and care for them.

Whether you’re a handler or a care specialist you form an unbreakable bond with these animals on the front lines.

Those that guide qualified applicants through the Force Generation Pipeline leave a lasting impact, from recruiters to drill sergeants.

Pfc. Marcus Hauser came back to his recruiting station to see his recruiter after graduating from One Station Unit Training and officially becoming an infantry Soldier.

Hauser made the decision to step back into his uniform and pursue a career in the infantry. He continues to show grit and determination to get back to the frontlines.

Some childhood dreams never fade; they become the mission.

From wearing the uniform to play pretend, to having it issued at reception. Every day, Soldiers turn a lifelong goal into reality by graduating Basic Combat Training.

It takes years of ambition to keep the dream alive. The first step is navigating the Force Generation Pipeline to build the character required to stand in the ranks.

Are you ready to turn your ambition into action?

It takes a community to build a Warrior.

The journey from qualified applicant to infantryman marks a period of profound growth, guided by the Force Generation Pipeline. Initial Entry Training is designed to break down old habits and forge disciplined, combat-ready Soldiers.

For Pvt. Isaiah Ragsdale, that journey culminated on graduation day. He is now on his way to his first duty station, embodying the Army Values instilled during One Station Unit Training.

Becoming a Soldier is never a solo mission. It is powered by Army Families, those providing unwavering support that fuel their journey. Ragsdale shared it best himself, recognizing the team behind him:

“Thank you to the ones who supposed my family throughout this process because it’s not just challenging for me it’s hard on my mother I know this has been hard on her so thank you to the ones who been uplifting her while I’ve started my journey in the infantry.” Ragsdale said.

We are grateful for the Families who stand strong on the home front. Your strength is our strength.

Ready to join an organization that invests in you and supports the team behind you every step of the way? Your path starts here.
