The United States Army: Its relevance and leaders
The United States Army has been considered superfluous, pointless, and ineffective, those are just a few of the things that have been said. And over the past few months, many people making these claims were correct. Today, I come to you to announce a new Army.
“We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view.”
The United States Army is being restructured; we are working with congress and are open to comment from all citizens of the United States. The Army will be the effective fighting force that the American people have desired soon. We already have one division at high readiness and the others are getting their quickly, we have some divisions growing, and we are recruiting on a daily basis.
Within our new recruits we are getting positive feedback and received comments such as:
“Sir, my leadership has been in excellent contact with me. Sir!”
And
“I have been contacted with a very warm welcome. Thank you very much.”
We in the army believe that to be all that we can be ™ we must work hand in hand with past soldiers and new recruits alike.
For soldiers and citizens alike who may be interested in joining the United States Army, I direct you to this link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=cC1RejQwOFdZbTIzbDFMQmFhX2RaTGc6MA..
Join us and be Army Strong! ™
Advertising slogans aside, we in the Army command truly believe that the Army is and will be a relevant member of the United States Armed Forces Community.
So I present to you the Members of the Current United States Army Command
General Joseph Schmo, he is our commanding officer and is directing the reorganization of the Army and will lead us to become a strong, effective fighting force.
Lt General Knojerakk, just me, I have experience and I enjoy media whoring the army 🙂
1st Division Co, Colonel Goaly1323, Col Goaly is doing her best to quickly improve and restructure the First Division, and personally I believe she is doing a great job.
1st Division Xo, Major Ian John Locke IV, Ian is well known in the political realms of this game, and is a recent addition to our 1st division command staff. His presence will assist us greatly in our goals!
2nd Division Co, Colonel Headmistress Talia, Col Talia is the recently promoted Co of 2nd Division and is also doing everything she can get that division up and running. General Schmo and I have the utmost faith in her abilities.
2nd Division Xo, Major Zsandmann, Major Z is another new addition to our command staff. He has been an experienced officer and I know that he will give Col Talia all the assistance she needs.
4rd Division Co, Colonel Tremaine, Colonel Tremaine is one of the most senior Army officers we have and we are lucky that he is willing to stick around and keep his division running.
4th Division Xo, Major NXNW, Major NXNW is just as good as any other officer I have met during my time in the military and I know that once he is done assisting Col Tremaine, he will have a bright future ahead of him.
This concludes the breakdown of the United States Army’s command staff. We look forward to serving the eAmerican people with distinction.
The United States Army has been improving at a rapid rate, I have seen a lot of change in my few days as its XO and it truly has been a great opportunity that was presented to me. This is the Army of the future, you need never forget the Army of the past, just know and accept, that the old Army is gone; this Army is here to fight, protect, and kick in the doors of America’s enemies.
“Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.”
Thank you,
Lt. General Knojerakk
Executive officer, United States Army

Excellent!
Thanks for letting us know more about the army!
You don't list the requirements for Army induction. Can anybody join or are there still levels you need to reach to apply? Focused recruiting is better than blanket recruiting if you are looking for specific types of soldiers.
I am having issues editing the post, Army requirements are 6 strength and 90 wellness. They are also listed on the application, but i never mind restating 🙂
Ooh Rah! Great to see more press on the Army.
MI > Army.. but only Alpha Four 😉
You can be "an army of one"
or you can stop being so bloody pretentious and join the army and help your country.
I have witnessed Knoj and Schmo's efforts from the Congress side, and have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the both of them. They are doing a phenomenal job in fine tuning the Army. Strong work gentlemen! We are happy with everything you have done. Keep up the strong work!
The Army is a great alternative if you can't get assigned to MI platoon Alpha Eight.
As a member of the MI, I AM bias.
But... The eUS Army has a good future ahead of it.
How would one go about finding out what branches are available to join? How can one join etc. This information appears to be difficult to find especially for a relative newb.
Do you have to quit your job to join?
The military is run on paper so to speak outside of the game its self. You can find information on available military branches through the US forums, or by PMing an officer.
oooh rah! New recruit here. Proud member of the 4th Div, 4th Platoon.
I must say, the welcome has been exceedingly warm and everything seems to be well organized. I never would have known there were problems in the past if you had not have mentioned it in your article.
I'm a little late here, but yeah, the Army is pretty awesome. We're doing everything we can to, as Knoj said, make this Army the Army every American has wanted for a long time. It's been too long... time to fix it.
Hoooah!
General Joseph Schmo
Commanding Officer, United States Army

Kickin ass and takin names...

wuts the difference between national guard and army? national guard is mainly defense while army is like attacking force right?
Pm me if you know of a military organization I can join when my strength is only 4.2, thanks.

The US Army is very cool, I must say. Great communication, great contacts, and great free weapons 😃
Well said, and well thought out. Answere some of my questions for sure.
voted and subscribed...although...i'm still partial to the MI!
Good to hear. Voted and subscribed.
Hooah!
From what I have been told (and this comes from my son who also plays eR) the ARMY has been broken and ruined for a long time and several restructures have been proposed.
Frankly, I think if your going to re-form/re-fit the army, It needs to be done with LESS congressional control and more command level control. Congress is great and all but given the current political climante (And potential for a USWP takeover) an army controled by a political party wouldnt be a very good idea.
Go army!
Well Congress doesn't hold as much power as you think.
Congress basically holds the cash. Though right now they are holding the funding hostage until we meet their demands but otherwise Congress isn't in control.
Excellent!

Where's the 3rd division?
1st/3rd FTW !!!
If u guys plan to reform the army, at least you can make sure u will improve its functions...I'm talking here about the level of interaction between troops and COs, the efficiency of administrative divisions of the army and the level of discipline of the troops. In RL, for a reform like that, i would suggest that u do a SWOT analysis for each one of the divisions and for the US Army as a complete entity, and only after that implement the need changes...Oh, and you might also take a look at how other strong erep armies are organized and function (the Romanian one might serve as a good example).

What is the Training Division that is mentioned in the sign up form? How can I "do" that?
@ Willie Franklin:
The training division trains soldiers on how to be a soldier in the U.S. Army. It used to be the National Guard Second Division, so you might be familiar with it being called that. You can contact General Dczip for more information about it.
nice
