Army supports President Obama’s request for BRAC round in 2015WASHINGTON - As the Army cuts the number of Soldiers in its ranks, there will be an excess of infrastructure in place that used to support those Soldiers.

Project Warrior
Project Warrior is a four-year program in which captains serve two years as an observer-coach-trainer at the National Training Center, Joint Readiness Training Center or the Joint Multinational Training Center, followed by two years as a small group instructor at a U.S. Training and Doctrine Command Center of Excellence.
The Army is restarting the Project Warrior program, initially suspended due to operational requirements in Iraq and Afghanistan. The objective of this program is to infuse observations, insights and lessons gained from multiple combat training center Decisive Action rotations against hybrid threats, back into the force through the TRADOC COEs.
The Army is planning a phased implementation of the Project Warrior program. By June, the Army will start identifying and selecting three cohorts of officers for follow-on assignments that will begin in fall 2013.
• Cohort 1 will screen current observer-coach-trainers for follow-on assignments as small group instructors at TRADOC COEs.
• Cohort 2 will screen current captains who have completed key developmental assignments, for follow-on assignment as observer-coach-trainers at CTCs.
• Cohort 3 will screen promotable lieutenants for prioritized Captains Career Course slots during fiscal year 2014.
By fiscal year 2016, the goal is to have Project Warrior officers filling 15 percent of Small Group Instructor positions at select COEs and 30 percent -- the endstate goal -- by fiscal year 2017.
Small and selective by design, at full implementation, the Project Warrior program will have 66 officers serving at the combined training centers and another 66 serving as small group instructors at various TRADOC COEs.
The Army must develop agile and adaptive leaders as it begins transitioning from a decade focused on counterinsurgency operations to a smaller, more versatile Army that will take on a broader range of mission in support of national defense objectives. Project Warrior will help build these agile, adaptive leaders.
