Background. This message informs officers about the USARD Recruiting
Scholars Program, which is a priority of the Chief of Staff of the Army
(CSA). The Recruiting Scholars Program aims to attract and invest in
creative and highly adaptive top-tier captains to lead and strengthen
the Army’s recruiting outreach. It is a part of a larger, long-term
strategy to place exceptional leaders as recruiting commanders in youth,
market-focused areas that are geographically dispersed around the
country, where they can convey the Army’s story and facilitate
recruiting success for the force.
