Assignments Our Priorities

  Resources is a subset

  enhancing assignment opportunities

Assignment Considerations in our New Environment

Army Needs Skill Sets Experience
The Right Job

3
Career/Leader Development
Personal Preferences
17
Concepts to understand

• Being a Soldier laboratorian is an outdoor sport
• Expect multiple rotations and assignments
• Expect extreme mental and physical challenges
• Both at kinetic and non-kinetic

18
Assignment Impact Summary

• War is not going to end anytime soon
• New units (BCTs) need for more company-grade
  officers in all AOCs
• Number of TDA opportunities between TOE
  assignments are finite and subject to timing
• If you recently redeployed, the desire is to give
  you a minimum one-year break between deployments
