Overview
- U.S. Army Recruiting Command was formally established on Dec. 3 at Fort Knox as the service’s primary force‑generation headquarters under the new Transformation and Training Command.
- The Center for Initial Military Training moved to USAREC, centralizing the path from first contact through basic training under a single authority.
- USAREC now also oversees the Army Recruiting Division, Cadet Command, the Army Enterprise Marketing Office, the U.S. Army Training Center and Fort Jackson, and the U.S. Army Reserve 80th Training Command.
- Senior leaders said the reorganization links recruiters with the training base to better track recruit outcomes and reduce attrition across the pipeline.
- Lt. Gen. Johnny K. Davis leads the expanded command, which emphasizes precision enlistments aligned to Army needs, with full operational capability planned for October 2026.
