Adjutant General's Corps

Back

 

    People are the Army and our most valuable resource.  To manage our valuable resource, the Army has a series of personnel management systems.  These systems impact on unit readiness, morale, and soldier career satisfaction, and cover the lifecycle management of all Army Personnel.  The Adjutant General's Corps runs these systems.
    The AG Corps officer is responsible for both peacetime and wartime personnel systems.  These systems cover all personnel activities from accession of new soldiers to discharge and retirement.  While AG officers train to operate specialized wartime personnel systems such as replacement operations, strength accounting, casualty reporting, and postal, they must also operate the peacetime personnel system on a day-to-day basis.  Being an AG officer presents varied challenges to solve real personnel problems.
    Development of the AG Corps officer parallels that of other branches in offering both Basic and Advanced Course in the Adjutant General's School.  AG Corps officers can expect a wide variety of assignments, ranging from a battalion staff officer to commander of a Personnel Service Battalion.  AG Corps officers can be found at all levels in the Army, in virtually every country in the world.  All AG Corps officer skills are open to women.
    The AG Corps is a dynamic and ever-changing branch that has the tremendous responsibility of operating the Army's personnel support systems.  It is the right choice for a bright and energetic young person who is people-oriented.
