What The U.S. Army Is Made Of
The strength of the Army lies not only in numbers, but also in the individual Soldier. No matter what job they have or rank they hold, they are Soldiers first—strong and capable. The Army consists of more than 675,000 Soldiers: 488,000 on Active Duty, constantly at the ready to respond rapidly to any mission; 189,000 in the Army Reserve who can be rapidly mobilized when needed.
Because the Army is made of such a large number of Soldiers, it must be organized into units each with its own leaders and reporting structure. Each unit—whether it’s a squad or division—was created to respond to any mission, regardless of size or complexity.
In the Army, Soldiers can take advantage of a long list of job training and leadership training opportunities to keep their skills sharp. And because there are over 150 Army jobs, every Soldier plays an important part in the Army’s success. From working with computers to assisting doctors to fixing helicopters, there's an Army job right for you.
The strength, training and salary you earn as a Soldier in the Army are only a fraction of the overall benefits. The Army also offers money for education, comprehensive health care, generous vacation time, family services and support groups, special pay for special duties and cash allowances to cover the cost of living.
To be a U.S. Army Soldier is to be a part of the world's best fighting force. Soldiers spend their days training, working and serving together to protect America's freedoms. But they also have time after work for family, friends and personal interests. From recruitment to retirement, the U.S. Army provides a unique and diverse lifestyle for Soldiers. |
